    I just felt that many people may get lost in it when first using it, the same way ppl get lost in vim. At least I managed to get lost in both of them when I first tried them.

      Ohh, I know, I was just making a joke cuz ed will print ? when it doesn’t recognize a command and many people will see that over and over if they can’t figure out how to exit lol

      I also got lost in vi and ed when I first used them lol

      Tbh if I’m just making quick edits to config files or whatever I use nano lmao

        got me there : )

        I am unfortunately so used to vim and its bindings that I suffer whenever I can’t use it. It can be really tricky to do certain operations in other editors.
