>>13 At the very least learning ed will make you better at vim. Pretty decent cheatsheet for it found here https://catonmat.net/ed-unix-text-editor-cheat-sheet There are 'quite a few' commands, but even just understanding the addressing and a few basic commands it becomes a pretty useable editor. Apparently at bell labs they had accountants and secretaries whose terminals logged into ed and only ed (they added the !cmd command so they could access the other system programs if needed) and they were apparently quite productive. But I suppose even if all you know is 'p' '+' '-' 'i' and 'd' you /can/ write anything you need, even if it is definitely not even close to 'the best way'
