ed, emacs.
2 comments

I was going to say emacs too.

GNU emacs goes back to 1985, although I used TECO emacs before that.

But ed is older, although what is in use today is probably GNU ed, which was written after GNU emacs.

Do you actually use Ed, or the series of other programs that are based on it, like vi(m) and sed?
I occasionally try to use ed as a distraction free editor.
