@bram @lostpaolo This is hilarious! Also reminds me of the “standard editor” joke that comes in the Emacs distribution, reposted here: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TheTruePath

The part that always makes me laugh:

«Let’s look at a typical novice’s session with the mighty ed:

golem> ed

?
help
?
?
?
quit
?
exit
?
bye
?
hello?
?
eat flaming death
?
^C
?
^C
?
^D
?

Note the consistent user interface and error reportage. Ed is generous enough to flag errors, yet prudent enough not to overwhelm the novice with verbosity.»
