In a static world, on a static computing platform, I would agree with you entirely. We do not live in that world.
I remember back in the DOS days I had a wonderful programming-oriented text editor, named "Brief". It supported programmable macros, column editing, triggering external programs (ie, compile and run without leaving the editor). Completely blew away everything else available at the time.
I don't still use Brief, despite it still working just as well as it ever did, and despite still having a need for a solid programming-oriented text editor.
