Xed is a programmer's text editor for use on *nix computers with the X Window System, using only Xlib. It is designed to be small, fast, simple to use, and customizable. It is not intended to replace word processors or desktop publishing systems; rather it provides a rudimentary tool for programmers and system administrators that avoids the cumbersome and primitive character of alternatives such as emacs and vi. Xed is distributed freely, with all source and executable code.
This editor was written beginning in the early 1990's because I didn't want to learn emacs and vi was too hard to move around in. I have been using it every day since then, but I do not expect anybody else to ever use it.
