I defy you to post a program you've written in ed. I tried using it once. For some reason I thought it would be a good idea to use ed to write a clone of ed. Go figure. I lost interest pretty quick, but ed's lack of auto-indentation was a pain in the ass.

Someone needs to write a version of ed with all the things that make modern editors great -- auto indentation, code completion, syntax highlighting, and so on. Lulz would be had.

ed is pretty much a very small subset of vim, no? I think it actually has an ed mode somewhere.

Ex-mode, actually.

Sort of, except using Vim is very different from using ed (hjkl movement, for starters), and I don't believe ex mode has all the modern editor goodies that Vim has.

My other ed is an edwin.

Which is an EMACS.

BTW, Emacsfags, please answer this question. If Emacs is based on Emacs-Lisp and Edwin is based on Scheme, doesn't that make Edwin superior?

Less functionality, zing!

Also, even though I am a Schemer, I still think Scheme is a toy, educational language and if you for some reason want to use LISP, use CL.

Notepad++: Relatively small, relatively simple, but has loads of useful features and can splitscreen.  Combined with the joys of Cygwin/make/gcc and shellscripts, it makes the ideal Windows development environment: one with the least Microsoft software possible.

Yeah, you're the elitist assholes who can't laugh at themselves. Or have you forgotten which text editor comes with its own list of humorous jibes?

But real Vim users are beside the point here. I suspect that you "Vim are teh best" fags are just trying to sound like programming's elite.

I think it means that Climacs > Emacs. Someday.

I like and use Emacs because it makes for nice reflective interactive programming with scheme. Shrug.

I use a few things I wrote myself and some that a developer of the scheme implementation I use sent me.

What do you use for scheme?

It's obvious that you can't use emacs as a nice reflective interactive programming environment for scheme.

When I log into my Xenix system with my 110 baud teletype, both vi
*and* Emacs are just too damn slow.  They print useless messages like,
'C-h for help' and '"foo" File is read only'.  So I use the editor
that doesn't waste my VALUABLE time.

Ed, man!  !man ed

ED(1)               Unix Programmer's Manual                ED(1)

NAME
     ed - text editor

SYNOPSIS
     ed [ - ] [ -x ] [ name ]
DESCRIPTION
     Ed is the standard text editor.
---

Computer Scientists love ed, not just because it comes first
alphabetically, but because it's the standard.  Everyone else loves ed
because it's ED!

"Ed is the standard text editor."

And ed doesn't waste space on my Timex Sinclair.  Just look:

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root          24 Oct 29  1929 /bin/ed
-rwxr-xr-t  4 root     1310720 Jan  1  1970 /usr/ucb/vi
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  5.89824e37 Oct 22  1990 /usr/bin/emacs

Of course, on the system *I* administrate, vi is symlinked to ed.
Emacs has been replaced by a shell script which 1) Generates a syslog
message at level LOG_EMERG; 2) reduces the user's disk quota by 100K;
and 3) RUNS ED!!!!!!

"Ed is the standard text editor."

Let's look at a typical novice's session with the mighty ed:

golem$ ed

?
help
?
?
?
quit
?
exit
?
bye
?
hello?
?
eat flaming death
?
^C
?
^C
?
^D
?

---
Note the consistent user interface and error reportage.  Ed is
generous enough to flag errors, yet prudent enough not to overwhelm
the novice with verbosity.

"Ed is the standard text editor."

Ed, the greatest WYGIWYG editor of all.

ED IS THE TRUE PATH TO NIRVANA!  ED HAS BEEN THE CHOICE OF EDUCATED
AND IGNORANT ALIKE FOR CENTURIES!  ED WILL NOT CORRUPT YOUR PRECIOUS
BODILY FLUIDS!!  ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR!  ED MAKES THE SUN
SHINE AND THE BIRDS SING AND THE GRASS GREEN!!

When I use an editor, I don't want eight extra KILOBYTES of worthless
help screens and cursor positioning code!  I just want an EDitor!!
Not a "viitor".  Not a "emacsitor".  Those aren't even WORDS!!!! ED!
ED! ED IS THE STANDARD!!!

TEXT EDITOR.

When IBM, in its ever-present omnipotence, needed to base their
"edlin" on a Unix standard, did they mimic vi?  No.  Emacs?  Surely
you jest.  They chose the most karmic editor of all.  The standard.

Ed is for those who can *remember* what they are working on.  If you
are an idiot, you should use Emacs.  If you are an Emacs, you should
not be vi.  If you use ED, you are on THE PATH TO REDEMPTION.  THE
SO-CALLED "VISUAL" EDITORS HAVE BEEN PLACED HERE BY ED TO TEMPT THE
FAITHLESS.  DO NOT GIVE IN!!!  THE MIGHTY ED HAS SPOKEN!!!

You have made the fallacy of Argument from Silence. I just choose not to tell you because unlike smug lisp weenies, I don't want to help you retards become Scheme programmers. If you thought Scheme was a good language, you'd learn yourself. Fuck off.

Haha, you guys are fucking silly, both emacs and vim are fucked up ultra-text-editors thats basically unusable without a second terminal open with a tutorial detailing how your supposed to open a file, save it and the close the so-called-text-editor. This tutorial i would ofcourse have open in nano or gedit if i wanted it graphical.
