I always suggest it.  It means you can use sed and lot of other tools
pretty quick.
And if you know ed, you can use almost anything close to it.   I hated
DOS's edlin but if I was stuck it was close enough.

Although the famous ? error from the original version was annoying.

Truly, I still suggest that any modern user, take Rob and Brian's book and
until you can do the exercises without think about it, you really are not
yet comfortable with UNIX.  I even recommend at least read and looking at
the chapter on nroff.
