Now that #vim seems to be going down the #AIslop drain... might this finally be the year of #Emacs on the #desktop?

Also containing *proper" #AI since the #80ies!

@jack consider #neovim / #nvchad or just back to the basics with #nano & #ne?

Or grab' yourself #toybox's #vi implementation for maximum "rawdogging"...

While not Gemini or Claude, you could use the Co-Pilot completion wrapper, cpwrap(1) to wrap your ed(1) session.

On the bright side, it's done in proper Unix fashion, designed to be composable with whatever program you wrap, rather than shoehorning it into ed itself.
