Personally I would like a better editor than the built in “ed”. Maybe there is the “vi” available?
But ed(1) is the standard editor!
I seem to recall that vi relied on ed and ex. In Linux I don't this is the case any longer. I don't know about BSD but would expect that this is the case there also.
Both BSD and SysV (which a 3B1 would likely be running) have vi. Beware, though: it is not the vi you're probably used to, it runs in line mode (not hugely different from ed). It's good to learn new things! - Dave
