Personally, I hate ED.  The only time I can see it is if it was someone’s lifelong dream school.  [/quote]

Why do you "hate ED"?  Whole point of ED is it should be your top choice or at the bare minimum one of your top choices, and definately a school you would be thrilled to attend.

It's okay if you don't have a single school that rises to the top, then you simply don't ED anywhere, like many people[/quote]

ED is repugnant because it’s a tool for schools to retain wealthy students. Other very worthy students are cut out from the process entirely. [/quote]

Plenty of kids apply ED that receive large amounts of Financial Aid.  Plenty of people who make only $150-200K made the choice to save for their kids education/find a way to pay if they dont get FA/Merit.  
Quite simply, it's a tool for schools to guarantee yield.  It only really matters at schools with lower than 20% acceptance rates (most with higher give merit) and even then, fact is 80-95% of kids are simply not getting in because those are highly rejective schools.

ED wont go away, certainly not at Private schools, and even at top Public State Universities, I doubt it will go away because the schools like to be able to predict yield and this is a huge part.  [/quote]
