ed/ex/vi are the only editors which should be considered default on a
UNIX system. /bin/ed is for emergencies and /usr/bin/ex and /usr/bin/vi
are for non-emergencies.
Interesting opinions, Daniel. Want to know what I think? (Not fair; I
read _your_ blundering generalizations.)
I think Emacs should be the default on a GPL'ed and largely GNU
distribution.
No, I'm not starting anything. At least, I promise not to _continue_ this
thread.

More or less. However, it has a number of Emacs-ish key bindings (C-n,
C-p, C-a, C-e, and so forth) that make it tolerable for people like me.
Blasphemy!
Is the religious and facetious nature of my reply clear enough, or do I
have to spell it out?
