Good old ed(1). I don’t know why, but every now and then I like to edit my files using ed(1). Are there frequent ed(1) users around here? What is your motivation to use it?

    There is some truth in that statement.

    I was pondering over why I go back to ed every once in a while. I think because it’s kind of a problem solving puzzle. It helped / helps me to understand and use regular expressions.

    (Open)vi is my daily driver which is fine for my use case (mainly groff files to make tests and other documents).

    Thanks for bringing micro up. Seems like a nice editor. Never heard of it tbh.
