As the only real Unix/Linux expert at my previous company, I used to tell
people that the way to really learn to become comfortable as a command line
user was to disconnect the mouse for a month.

Not that anyone actually bothered to do it, but I think they understood
my point.

Erik, if you do ask your new hires to use ed, make it 2 weeks or a month.
That will cement regular expressions into their heads really well.
