I agree - my favorite editor. But, the first version or two, as delivered with RSTS at least, was a hellish mode based thing - like VI, you had to constantly switch between insert and edit modes, and if you forgot which mode you were in and hit a keypad key at the wrong time, all hell would break loose.
I tried it and used EDI instead, until the later version of EDT came out - limited as EDI was, it was far more predictable and didn't tend to go wild as easily.
