We couldn't even run vi at the time on our PDP-11/45 with 6th Edition

in Nroff using George Coulouris' em ('editor for mortals'), the
precursor to ex, which eventually became vi. It had a single-line
display but unlike ed you could see what you were doing.
And because you had to do that decades ago new Linux users today should
be using vi instead of all the more user friendly editors available for
use in a terminal?
