Once I had to use a router which had ed (but not vi) installed to edit it's configuration file on the router. For some very simple tasks I actually could edit the file, but for anything complicated it was easier to download the file, edit it with vim, upload, then reload the configuration.

I learned C++ in a mud environment where all I had was ed. I did a lot of pasting from a local editor with very tightly controlled flow rates.

Sometimes I did legitimately fix bugs in source on the server system using ed commands. It was painful.
