No. There's just nothing to argue about. ed(1) is the standard
editor[0]. Use ed.
"Better" is subjective, but there can be no argument about
simplicity--ed wins. Please don't waste my time with suggests that junk
like:
$ cat > file
is even simpler, because it's not an editor. It's close to an editor in
your bloated readline-enhanced shells, but it's not the same.
