I've been using it for small edits over the past few months, it's not that bad.

It would take very little to make it very good:

- a quick shortcut to open the file at current line in a pager

- perhaps redesign it to work without having to hit enter after you give a command

The game changer for me was the detailed mode ("H"), which makes ed a lot more pleasant to use. I wish it could be passed on the command line as an option and aliased in the shell... maybe I should patch it.

I've started to find ed surprisingly fun to use for quick edits, I'm not leaving nvi yet but it has this nice "ancient Unix" vibe.
