if there were indeed hundreds of thousands of text editors, then yes, the way your thinking flows would be warranted

but in reality there are less then a hundred alltogether for all time

each is a project of passion, and all are resultant in a peculiar, particular and special kind of thing to do a special kind of thing

you can't select a thing the VIM way and then do something to it the Emacs way

you can't eat Catholic while working Maori

or you can, but then it is just another special thing that you made up

text isn't a thing

code is a thing (many ways, depending on the approach), prose is a thing (many ways), poetry is a thing, legal writing is a thing

text is not a problem that can be solutioned, it is not a question that has an answer
