ed is the only true editor
Do you all seriously edit text files directly‽
I use
hexeditfor all my programming, that way I can see my text's source code. It allows things that are impossible with lesser editors, like differentiate l and 1. Newer versions even provide a "live view" that shows your text's output right beside its source, updated almost instantly. I don't personally use it as it consumes a lot of resources but it's a great help if you're just starting out.butterflies. I use butterflies.
Meh, there is an Emacs command for that.
That's why I use a vimitor instead.
nano for me, please.
You can't spell vim without ed and em.
