'ed' is _a_ standard text editor; on Unixes. Though a very primitive
one.

(I wonder why one would make ones life harder than necessary.)

Is that the reason why the formatting of your post is corrupt?
(Or is it your newsreader settings?)

I think "based on" may be a misleading formulation here.

Vim is not based on the Vi code base. But functionally yes, mostly.
And you won't gain anything if trying to somehow relate Vim to Ed;
these are functionally completely different things.

Maybe modulo the very first beginning (when vi was added to ex as a
visual mode) mode, ex and vi are just two modes of the same editor.
