I Learned Some sed - The Code Whisperer

I decided to learn a little sed, because I can find it everywhere and it seems like the kind of tool that would make a bunch of everyday things easier and faster.

I would generally suggest that if you love the original Unix "ed" editor, then you'll love "sed".

Otherwise, I'd probably suggest learning Perl.

(And yes; I have a fair amount of "sed" experience.)

Interesting. I would prefer not to learn Perl, but I'll take your word for it that I might dislike than less than learning more sed. Maybe I will focus on awk instead. I like the idea of a simple regex-based text processing interface and I don't particularly mind which tool I use for that.
