Yes, but ed also allows one to easily work with only 1-3 lines of

I think with every line editor is so?

The power of ed is in the regular expressions, search and substitution.

The only thing that I find more comfortable in sos and miss in ed
is the line alter mode that allows to interactively delete and
insert characters in a line. That is also what one wants to carefully
do in configuration files. Normaly no big editing.
