Ed Is The Standard Text Editor
I'm not saying it doesn't get a lot of shout outs, but it could always do with one more. I think the last time I used it was to automate the editing of config files on some antiquated telephony system by piping ed commands through netcat. There remains a chance that I might live long enough to find some excuse to use it again.
Using Ed on an old Unix system feels like talking about WW2 with a veteran in a home except we both have shellshock.
