Same for me: vi (later vim, later neovim) since the late 1970s. I used ed in the early days, too, and that may be why I love the fact that vi* lets me type ":"

Same for me: vi (later vim, later neovim) since the late 1970s. I used ed in the early days, too, and that may be why I love the fact that vi* lets me type ":" to do powerful things.
- zabzonk 3y agoi had to teach a C programming course that used ed as the editor because i could not at the time get vi/ex to work because of terminfo/termcaps and other problems (which i later fixed). also bourne shell. students, who were on a basically business oriented IT course in about 1985 (?) never complained. try inflicting something like that on people now, though it might be good for them.
