notepad isn't even close to ed in functionality



There's a reason ed is the standard text editor. Everything is possible in ed.


> Of course, on the system I administrate, vi is symlinked to ed. Emacs has been replaced by a shell script which 1) Generates a syslog message at level LOG_EMERG; 2) reduces the user's disk quota by 100K; and 3) RUNS ED!!!!!!
