Med appears to be a command line text editor, while this is a gui text editor... different beasts entirely.

- nine_k 4y agoMed is a text-mode editor. If you want a command-line text editor, try the classic ed [1] :-D This was a kind of editor you might have to use with a teletype that prints on paper. [1]: https://linux.die.net/man/1/ed https://linux.die.net/man/1/ed
- WalterBright 4y agoI use this kind of editor because it works remotely over a tty interface. It's a full screen editor. The increase in utility for a graphics mode text editor is not that great for a code editor, because code is monospaced.
- eikenberry 4y agoI don't think they were claiming that GUI editors are better... more that they have different audiences and comparing them doesn't work well due to that.
