That may be true, but still a lot of embedded systems based on Linux and mini Linux distros, use busybox, which only has vi, no ed so...
I personally have never used ed myself, and used vi quite a lot, but that doesn't have to mean anything

Feel free to file an enhancement request against Busybox in bugs.maemo.org to enable CONFIG_ED by default. No idea though if Nokians will agree as there's nano and vi available already.
It's all about personal preferences, I'd say...

On a more serious note:
rather than lobby to modify the busybox (a rather large undertaking relatively speaking), is there some reason why those who want "ed" or "insert_favorite_app_here) can't just drop a statically compiled binary in their device's filesystem and be done with it? Seems like a sort of non-issue to me.

However, ed does seem to be available (in the Fremantle SDK repository) after all :-)

I see it's in diablo's repository too, http://repository.maemo.org/pool/diablo/free/e/ed/, although it doesn't show up in Application Manager. Hmm.
