You beat me to it!   :-)

While I don't use TECO daily, there are times when it is the
only suitable tool.  One customer has an annual (yes, just once
a year) job that involves extracting data from a vendor's report
file.  We considered other approaches, but eventually concluded
that TECO was the right tool for the job, by a long shot.

Documenting it was fun!

Depending on the task at hand, I may use TPU, EDT, vi(m), notepad
or TECO.  What matters is which one is most suitable for the job.
