I thought ed is the standard text editor?
But I agree on micro. As a Linux user who refused since 20 years up until now to learn vi or emacs nano and than micro was a real pain relive.
- johnisgood 5y agoIs it? It could be as far as line-oriented text editors are concerned, but when it comes to screen-oriented text editors, I think it is vi. vi was a step up from ed (because it was not line-oriented but screen-oriented!). Initial release of vi was 45 years ago. :) Oh and for the curious: > The name "vi" is derived from the shortest unambiguous abbreviation for the ex command visual, which switches the ex line editor to visual mode. The name is pronounced /ˌviːˈaɪ/ (the English letters v and i).
