Thanks. Will do so.

(Most?) valid point.

And could you elaborate on it? How do you roll your own?

There is some truth in that statement.

I was pondering over why I go back to ed every once in a while. I think because it's kind of a problem solving puzzle. It helped / helps me to understand and use regular expressions.

(Open)vi is my daily driver which is fine for my use case (mainly groff files to make tests and other documents).

Thanks for bringing micro up. Seems like a nice editor. Never heard of it tbh.

I should have mentioned that I meant interactive mode. Thus as editor.

I'm familiar with sed and awk.
