I don't think I would have concluded that ed was designed for scripting
per say. I do think it's very conducive to it. I also think that ex
(vi(m)'s command mode is similar.
Vim also has an extensive vimscript language that I see a LOT of very
fancy things in.
I also wonder if Visual Basic Scripts (.vbs) (macros) inside of the
various Microsoft Office GUI apps might qualify here.
I think that scripts are less often used in editors than they once were.
