I recently learned there are people that think emacs and vi are bloated. They like acme or sam or something. Iceberg is so deep.
Ed users have not found the internet yet, otherwise they'd be in the war too
?
"Ed", a.k.a. "edline" is a really old line by line editor in Unix.
Oh my god someone finally fell for it! Please don't edit your comment, you just made my day
I chose to respond to the most likely meaning as it's also the response with the greatest utility value for the average person coming across this thread.
Responding to it as an "ed" prompt is pretty useless in this context.
Are you a Vulcan? O_o
Either way you have my thanks. Greatest utility value as well as greatest hilarity value!
LOL!
It's been many years since I was so young that this was all it took to reach the level of hilarity.
Lol, wooshed.

Even Lynx is bloatware if you're a member of the Ed Sect.
When you think of a bloated text editor, you would not expect VI to be that. If anything, it's closer to the opposite.
Check this out. It puts everything I thought that was, you know, more ethical to use to the harmful section and suggests some unknown and probably not very useful today stuff. Can someone explain if they have good points or not?
Unclear. They don't give their reasoning beyond "complicated = bad", and very specifically leave it up to the imagination of the reader.
While they make some interesting points with regards to overcomplication and scope creep, there are also good reasons why we're still not using programs like
edas text editors, such as it being arcane and unintuitive.viwill at least helpfully point out:exit is not an editor command. Instead,edwill not-so-helpfully point out?.
