Ignore all the people telling you to use anything based on vi - it's a horrible editor if you don't already know how to use it. (Ditto for emacs, although possibly not quite so bad).
Ed is the standard text editor. Ed is generous enough to flag errors, yet prudent enough not to overwhelm the novice with verbosity. The experienced user will often know whats wrong.
