It is like ed(1) with a windowing system.
- eru 17y agoThe standard editor!
- joshu 17y agoI want a editor! Not a samitor or an emacsitor or a viditor!
- cylinder714 17y agoThose aren't even words.
- gchpaco 17y agoThis is superficially true but I think ignores how usable sam is. The rationalized command language, the fact that you can see what you're doing, unlimited undo even across files (even across file I/O), and the ability to go to the file in question and just type make it a much more satisfying experience to do large amounts of development with than ed is.
- eru 17y agoYes. Vi is also not too dissimilar to ed, but much more useful. (Also NetHack is quite similar to Vi, and much more useful and fun in turn.)
