resp: 56 - I believe this should remedy that behavior by converting the 
\\t to four spaces. IIRC, even auto-indenting will respect that.

Ed, man! !man ed

When I'm feeling lazy, Emacs is comfortable like lasagne. vi
is fine for a light snack (not bloaty vim - if I want bloat,
I'll load Emacs), or nano.

I actually do use ed for quickly creating small files or when
I'm on an under-powered or limited-keyboard terminal, like my
smartphone.

When I'm retro-computing, I like to learn the default editor
for the system I'm using, TECO and pre-GNU EMACS on ITS or
EDIT/EDT on VMS.
