Well... given that, we are all heathens, for there is only one true editor....

“Ed is the standard text editor.”

Ed, the greatest WYGIWYG editor of all.

ED IS THE TRUE PATH TO NIRVANA! ED HAS BEEN THE CHOICE OF EDUCATED AND IGNORANT ALIKE FOR CENTURIES! ED WILL NOT CORRUPT YOUR PRECIOUS BODILY FLUIDS!! ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR! ED MAKES THE SUN SHINE AND THE BIRDS SING AND THE GRASS GREEN!!

When I use an editor, I don't want eight extra KILOBYTES of worthless help screens and cursor positioning code! I just want an EDitor!! Not a “viitor”. Not a “emacsitor”. Those aren't even WORDS!!!! ED! ED! ED IS THE STANDARD!!!

TEXT EDITOR.

When IBM, in its ever-present omnipotence, needed to base their “edlin” on a Unix standard, did they mimic vi? No. Emacs? Surely you jest. They chose the most karmic editor of all. The standard.

Ed is for those who can remember what they are working on. If you are an idiot, you should use Emacs. If you are an Emacs, you should not be vi. If you use ED, you are on THE PATH TO REDEMPTION. THE SO-CALLED “VISUAL” EDITORS HAVE BEEN PLACED HERE BY ED TO TEMPT THE FAITHLESS. DO NOT GIVE IN!!! THE MIGHTY ED HAS SPOKEN!!!

I'm not sure how much this tells you. The low usage of "su" is because I use a keyboard shortcut for a terminal with root privilege. The high usage of "setenforce" is because I can't print without turning off SEL. "man" and "apropos" are mostly when checking something before posting here.

OP, thanks for giving me an opportunity to start learning about the sort command.

This is from my desktop.

cnc:
I use CNC which is today by far the most advanced terminal file manager. You can trust it, you can rely on it, it coded in C, you can use it as root for most tasks.

wim+:
a new generation of vim-like editor featuring windows (frames), such as turbo vision. As well coded in C.

vim:
time to time for configs and, mostly for editing TeX documents ; it has a fantastic spell.
