Re: [PLUG] Text editors


I was trying to stay out of this thread, but I just can't take it
any more.

Clearly, the only true editor is ed.

Visual editing is overrated... line editors are where it's at! And
none of that new-fangled ex finaglry, with its allowance of piped
commands; that's just wimpy!

(And yes, I really do know of where I speak. ed's the only editor on
/ in NetBSD. Put /usr on another partition or disk and then corrupt
that partition or disk and you learn right quick.)

PS, this is where the next wise guy points out that he prefers to
edit text files using a battery and a serial port. C'mon, you know
you want to be That Guy.
