Using? No, there are dozens of much better & easier to use editors free with Linux. Ed DOES work ok, but all things considered, it is probably a net loss to include it with Euphoria, because it makes Euphoria appear to be caught in a time warp.

I could be wrong, but I strongly suspect that there have always been dozens of better and easier to use free editors with Linux and even Windows/DOS for that matter. Rob has said that ed was intended as a simple demo. I think ed has/had many merits as a euphoria sandbox for programming toddlers, such as yours truly, to play around in.

I'm not interested in beating a dead horse though. GUI editors are au currant, console editors are passe'.

BTW I deeply appreciate your euphoria support files for KATE/Kwrite.

So who decides whether ed is maintained in the official release or not?
