TECO is alive and well. It is living on thousands of PCs of various
makes and models. It is still actively supported by folks at DECUS
and there is even an Ada implementation of TECO. TECO is too easy to
use, and too good not to use, for it to die easily. It's quite nice
for doing script-based editing. EMACS is, being screen based, is
better for interactive editing.

Both TECO and EMACS were in use at Norden Systems as late as
1987. I remember it well, being involved in maintaining it.
I believe they are still available (and maybe even still
maintained) at MIT.
