Hey, sounds cool.<p>I think ed's interface is a great model for providing user-friendly experiences.<p>It's like chatting with the computer. In comparison, "WYSIWYG" editors are like a difficult game of coordination.<p>Granted, the original Unix ed is somewhat difficult for beginners.<p>But if Siri would edit files for you, she might do it with ed commands.<p>This website we're on would be much better with an ed-like interface: a command for listing, a command for visiting, a command for posting, a command for commenting, a command for deleting, a command for editing.<p>The only question is how to present these commands to the user, which is what /bin/ed doesn't do, because back in the days people read the f'ing manual.<p>It's supposed to be Hacker News, why do I have to reach for my trackpad? Why is everything so lame? Get with the future, people. Get with ed.
