Yes, it reminds me that it was years before I started using an XML 
editor in preference to a general-purpose editor, because although the 
XML editors were better at XML, they were worse at everything else.

In fact, it's hard for me to believe now, but for years I used a 
general-purpose editor in preference to a Java IDE for similar reasons. 
It's not enough to do one thing well.
