Actually - no. ed doesn't adapt, Plan 9 spends its time overcoming the
deficiencies of its own applications.

Funny argument coming from the one arguing for cat and ed.

You claim Ken got by just fine with those and look at the wonderful stuff he
wrote, so why bother using anything newer (you later address the "bloat"
issue, but not here). That's like arguing why bother with computers and
paper? The Persians got along fine for hundreds of years with clay tablets
and cuneiform!

Uriel, you usually make a rational argument. Granted, you're so acerbic
that your words are more likely to upset your audience then sway them. But
this is really poor for your standards.
