   That's interesting. So in a way you're programming the editor
yourself, to whatever extent you find useful. I can see how that
would be appealing for a particular usage.

   I don't think we're really disagreeing. We're talking about
different things. You have a very specialized usage, you're
capable of adapting your editor for personal optimization. Those
optimizations are more useful to you than specialized functionality.
However, your usage is extremely rare. Very few people are
coding in a dozen languages and very few are capable, or even
interested in, customizing an editor to the point of writing a lot
of its functionality.

   I was talking about using a generic vs specialized editor
for a particular language. (In this case HTML.) The general
editors provide no specialized functions other than rudimentary
colorcoding and line numbers. Adding something like word count
is a plain text function.

   In my HTML editor, for example, I can browse for a file and
then auto-insert an IMG tag without having to check the pixel
dimensions. I can display an image, click any
point, and get the hex code for that point, which can be very
useful for background and outline coloring. I can display a colorpicker
and get the hex code for a selected color. I can toggle to display
the webpage, hover over any point, and find the class/ID for
that element. I can quickly see a list of possible attributes for
an HTML tag.... Those are all things that make the job easier.

   That might not be of much use to you. Maybe you couldn't care
less. But if you did a lot of HTML work, those functions would be
big hassle-savers.
