I can tolerate ed and sam -d, but they reduce the amount of attention I can give to my code. edlin is worse, I always accidentally overwrite stuff. Del, (or rather ∇,) the standard text editor in APL, is a little clearer than edlin but not much. Great name for an editor, though...I use Acme, it's an integrating development environment. (I miss my alien smileys.) I don't use it to its fullest and it's not exactly free of annoyance and I am a bit tired of it, but when I use any other text editor I feel very restricted. Acme lets me bring the system into the text editor to a much larger extent and more conveniently than anything else I've tried. My major OS plans actually revolve around enabling integration in even better ways than Acme and it's original OS, Plan 9.
Acme's ability to open files with just a click on filenames in any text is also brilliant. I've used it to organize my life for years, essentially building personal wikis in plain text with no extra software beyond my normal editor.
