@neauoire but can it play tetris? it can't hmmmmm :blobcatthinking: @neauoire In the beginning it's immensely frustrating. But it didn't take very long until the workflow clicked. After that it didn't feel particularly weird or alien, just a little cumbersome. It's livable. Also, if you've ever used gdb, it has a similar line oriented interface to browsing the source. Once you get used to ed, gdb also feels a lot more natural to use. @jannem I haven't messed with ed much, but I've opened sam once or twice :) it doesn't work well with my workflow, I think if I did different types of programs it might be a better fit. |
@neauoire if I know how to use vim, how likely is it I could learn to use an ed?
