If you will ever have to edit a 5000 line config file through a serial 
modem link at 300 Bauds you will likely practically beg that the system 
has ed or edlin installed. ed also exists on all modern *nix variants. 
It is also 'inside' vi. Most non-visual editing in vi is actually ed 
commands ... I use vi all the time (especially vim).
