Slanderous and outrageous lies!
Ed, man! !man ed
Computer Scientists love ed, not just because it comes first alphabetically, but because it's the standard. Everyone else loves ed because it's ED!
“Ed is the standard text editor.”
But more historical and factual: Ed is actually "mandatory on systems conforming to the Single Unix Specification)" as well.
- macintux 10y agoI learned to program C in a crippled version of ed. Ed rocks!
- YeGoblynQueenne 10y agoAh, ed. I have fond memories of being stuck in an ed command line inside the Unix mode of Z/OS on a mainframe. exit ? quit ? q ? bye ? help ? ohmygodgetmeouttaheeeeere ? P.S. I'm not a native English speaker. "Fond" means "a vision of hell" right?
- AimHere 10y agoYes. Yes, that's exactly what it means.
