   I wonder how often people open tickets for "lisp-mode unimplemented" for nex

     I guess when you get to thinking "emacs but with ed" you're basically in plan9's clutches already. For clarity, ex is the name of a line editor, and vi is a screen editor with screen-editing-macros (customized in your .exrc) right?

     @dougmerritt @screwtape @aartaka @prahou My emacs config pulls in viper mode using the f5 key which effectively gives me vi's colon-command mode in emacs. 😬 It feels like cheeting.

     Like I can do ranged deletes and stuff.
     (it's a limited subset of ex but the basics work)

     Bill Joy was a supergenius programmer, but he was not a Lisp guy.

     Ex is significantly more powerful than ed (or sed), though, so I would think Emacs+ex would work better than Emacs+ed.
