A line oriented editor uses navigation and other means by line numbers. When you print a line, move to a line, or change something in a line all that is shown is the line itself, and not with the context of what is being changed.

Line oriented editors were common when screen or page based editing was not available. These days most text editors will show at least a half to full page of where you are editing so you see the change in context.
