I use `xed` constantly, since I still use Xcode as my editor but rarely for Cocoa stuff anymore. So I am often in the shell testing scripts/servers and it's quite convenient.
I've found a few shortcomings though, with files that don't exist and when opening symlinks. These I've remedied via a shell alias (and can still get the original if ever necessary via `x\ed`): https://gist.github.com/natevw/0324311ae115ca8d1a9e
