So I've never heard of 'ed' before I got into this pubnix.
I'm currently writing this post with it.
Having to edit line-by-line means I am currently
putting a lot more effort into doing it right
the first time.
It also is making me conscious of line width
for some reason. I can't explain it.
I'd definitely recommend trying it out
if you haven't done it yet;
this thing's existed since 1969 apparently
and is therefore one of the granddaddies
of all the scrappy terminal editors we use
and adore here.
It might become a more permanent fixture
in my coding repertoire; not sure yet.
