I've edited files using any number of poor tools, but that doesn't
mean I'd choose them for daily work. Blame your tools no, but choose
which ones you carry around on your belt. I have a couple of
special-purpose editors that absolutely *suck* for general work, but
have a specific feature that makes them good for one particular
situation... one editor has a 32KB limit, no spiffy features, and
sometimes mishandles line endings, but it edits files on my remote
server, and can sometimes work when SSHing isn't an option. But
there's no way I'd use that for any other purpose than remote editing.
