From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

ED IS THE STANDARD EDITOR
If you're not trolling, then I'd like to offer my apologies for assuming you were.
Perhaps I shouldn't feed the trolls, but I couldn't resist: does
ed
even support the functionality demonstrated in the gif above? I'm asking this from a genuine position of ignorance.Honestly: Yeah, i was trolling (kind of), but:
I DO like to code via ED because the design and workflow of ED (or even better: Sam) makes folding unnecessary because you only put on the screen what is needed right at that moment. Want to see two functions 1000 lines apart? No problem, just print them right below each other on the screen.
Interesting insights. Much appreciated!
Hmm..., I suppose this is a workflow I'd have to try out for myself before drawing any conclusions. Though, I got some questions:
ed
? Isn't any other TUI/CLI text editor fit for the job? Apologies if I sound obtuse/obnoxious*. I'm probably just very ignorant of howed
fares compared to the others.
