For all that it's the butt of jokes, ed is awesome. I didn't really
appreciate it until vi wasn't an easy goto option anymore (v6). After
reading Kernighan's tutorial, I kind of fell in love with it. g/re/p? Who'd
of thunk it? ed may not be 'visual', but the entire document is editable and
its support of regex and the global command are incredibly powerful.
Especially, for so incredibly tiny an editor. Finally, ed is the sibling of
sed and once I got the connection there, it opened up a whole new world of
editing awesomeness.
