It’s interesting that, as time passes, I grow my assortment of ed(1) scripts that optimize my workflows. Scripts that are not transferrable to e.g. #Emacs. But easy to write and integrate in The True Unix Editor.

These scripts are really useful, like an interactive narrowing grep I just wrote!

So I have perfect scripts and ed(1) versus Turing-complete Emacs and useless vi(m).

As time passes, I seem to gravitate towards ed(1).

Let’s see where that gets me.
