I don’t agree, it’s consecutive line output vs. screen-based rendering and repositioning. Regardless, ed was developed for and used on actual teletypes. It’s entire interface is geared towards that usage. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

I think ed also served the function of sed and patch. Ie you could record a bunch of edits into a file and it could read the script and perform all the edits to some input file. So it was more useful than an interactive line based editor sounds. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
