As long as you want to edit a single line at a time, don't ever want to
see lots of stuff at once, never want to deal with things except on a
strictly line-by-line basis...

... but I tend to edit much larger chunks than that at once, and without
syntax highlighting and the ability to see many files simultaneously
things get very difficult.

Emacs provides that. vim does. ed, not so much. I actually prefer to use
sed -i in extremis: that's how nasty I think ed is.
