    If it does everything it needs to do without major drawbacks, then it is the best editor.

      Yeah… and these criteria depend on the editor + use case combo. Hence, the discussion and excitement around text editors

      Pretty much. But some people end up wanting to configure and tweak the thing just so they “can work”, when in reality they never actually use any of those tweaked things

      Sometimes, it feels like people that spend too much time glorifying text editors are just trying to justify why they’re using a bad one.
