I always recommend doing the exercises in Rob and Brian's UPE on ed because
then everything else makes sense, like sed or any other editor. Plus you
get the advantage you point out, and the reality is that so many
simpler editors (like edlin) have similar functionality, it means you can
get something done, just about anywhere.

A boss of mine insisted that we all learned "ed", because one day it might
be the only editor available to you after a crash; he was right...
