Sue Blake innocently queried:
% Does anyone here use ed?
Jordan K. Hubbard wittily replied:
> Yep! Still one of my favorite editors, in fact. :)
Ugh. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a favorite, but I still use
it for quick editing tasks where you need to change one string to
another, and in shell scripts.
I once wrote a manual for a widely available variant called QED; it was
written in Fortran and available for most minicomputer systems in the
late 70s and early 80s.
I'm still pretty comfortable with it. ;^)
