The original ex was an advanced version of the standard UNIX editor ed, included in the Berkeley Software Distribution. ex is similar to ed, with the exception that some switches and options are modified so that they are more user-friendly.

ex was since given a visual interface, thereby becoming vi. These days it is implemented as a personality of the vi program, and most versions of vi still have an "ex mode", invoked using the command ex.
