Personally I preferred UCEdit, University of Calgary Editor, but it only 
ran on a CDC Cyber series as far as I know.  I loved being able to go to 
the 234th instance of 'the' and changing the next 5 instances to 'then' 
in a file with a single command.  It made editing large files very easy.
Unfortunately I have never seen any editor close to it even though I 
used it in the late 70's.
