simple script question

I've never used sed (except in scripts someone sent me), so I don't know if
it adheres to the same substitute command rules as vi.  If it does this
could be written as:

cat file | sed 's]/usr/local]/usr]'

where you could replace the ']' with any of the accepted special characters
and then you wouldn't have to backslash the slashes.  vi allows almost *any*
special character to be used as the divider in a substitute command in Unix.
Does this work in Linux as well?
