74 Computer Scientists love ed, not just because it comes first
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
75 alphabetically, but because it's the standard. Everyone else loves ed
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
76 because it's ED!

86 Of course, on the system *I* administrate, vi is symlinked to ed.
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
parents:

87 Emacs has been replaced by a shell script which 1) Generates a syslog
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>

88 message at level LOG_EMERG; 2) reduces the user's disk quota by 100K;

parents:

141 "edlin" on a UNIX standard, did they mimic vi? No. Emacs? Surely
