Anybody else use ed(1)?<p>My main editor is acme, and when I need to do large edit jobs on remote servers I control I use sam. However, when I have to edit files on servers I don't control, or when I have to do a quick edit job and I don't have a sam terminal started yet, I use ed.<p>Unlike all other editors, ed doesn't erase the screen. I find this extremely useful. Also, ed is always the same. Vi is not always the same on different systems. Sometimes it has syntax syntax highlighting by default, forcing me to make effort to turn it off, sometimes nocompatible is set on or off, etc.<p>Ed is always the same and has no settings.<p>Sometimes inside my acme session I run win(1), and sometimes in my win sessions I ssh to some system and run ed inside acme.<p>I forced myself to use ed exclusively for a week some years back, and since then I stuck with it.
