i have used a bluetooth keyboard with an ssh client on my phone. it's fine in a pinch but i miss the screen real estate of a laptop or desktop

ed... the standard Unix text editor.

i actually have seen a coworker of mine reach for ed in the context of automating changes to config files with a shell script (which was totally badass and ended up working really well) but even i am too young to have met anyone who ever used ed as a daily driver. this is really interesting.
