I am curious if anyone uses ed as their editor of choice these days, assuming an actual screen and such of course. If so, why? Muscle memory?
Has anyone come up with an ed with the advantages of a modern screen, so it shows the full file on the side but you can still run ed commands on it?
Edit: I should have expected getting "vi" as an answer, although I can't fault all the commenters below :P I was thinking of something a little less different, like literally just a command prompt on the bottom and a pane above centered on the line you just operated on.
