After reading lots of similar anecdotes about Ed (Steven Levy's "Hackers" dedicates quite a few words to it), I was quite sure it was pretty much unusable for today's UI patterns, but also morbidly curious about how it might eventually work. Then I came across "Actually using ed"[1], which did such a great job at explaining how to use the tool that I decided to throw in my 2 cents by submitting an entry to the tldr-pages project[2]. The rendered page looks can be found on [3]. Any feedback welcome! 1. https://sanctum.geek.nz/arabesque/actually-using-ed/ 2. https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/pull/944 3. https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/blob/master/pages/common/...
