    Which is a great reason to at least familiarize yourself with it. It’s the lingua franca of text editors.

        ed is sadly not installed by default on some modern distros. Even vi is often a symlink to vim in vi-mode.

          Really? Not that I’d notice, but I assumed ed was so tiny that there wouldn’t be any reason to not include it. (Ubuntu has it and it’s 59KB)

          Asking for vi and getting vim is just a pleasant surprise :)
