NOT WAR?
[4K CORE]
I’m a bizarre UNIX relic. I never learned vi. I went from “ed” to the various emacs
variants (starting with Warren Montgomery’s EMACS, then JOVE and UNIPRESS, and later GNU).
I used INed (a commercialization of the Rand editor) but didn’t particularly like that
either. My coworkers for years would be amused when if I found the machine had no EMACS
variant, I’d just use ed. I could be startlingly fast in ed and you do learn regular
expressions well if you have to do a lot of editing that way. On a few machines where
I’m confronted with VI and no ed/emacs, I just use VI in “ex” mode.

Gah. That reminds me of nothing so much as TECO (may it long Rest in Peace).
