I think I started around v6, because for some odd reason I can do
ed in my sleep.
playing with v1 I was shocked at how I just jumped right into ed,
typing things like "1,$p" on autopilot.
it was sort of scary :-) but it came back immediately.
I think at some point I spent some time with ex also, which was
sort of post ed, pre vi. Maybe on sun-1's? I can't remember, but
the commands seem to translate.
I can do vi but it's always a strain. ed is less complex.

I have avoided [learning ed] so far.

You have? But ed is the standard editor!
I got into UNIX by the time vi was around, so I missed out on ed.
