SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
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 ANDIGNORANT 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!!!
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!!!
