Except that `zed` contains `ed`, precursor to `ex`, `vi`, and `edlin` yet still around:
`ed` is a line editor for Unix and Unix-like operating systems. It was one of the first parts of the Unix operating system that was developed, in August 1969. It remains part of the POSIX and Open Group standards for Unix-based operating systems, alongside the more sophisticated full-screen editor `vi`.

While `ag` (the silver searcher) is fantastic, Zed's more about editing code than searching code:
This is depressing, considering that ed is the linchpin of the contemporary I.T. environment.
