I honestly don't understand why we lose IDEs and editors.
I understand that software requires people maintaining it,
but my point is more that I still don't understand the why.
We have some functionality, a lot of which could be re-used
in editors and IDEs. But people rarely share stuff. They
like to re-implement things. Again and again and again. This
is not logical to me.
I'd like to have one editor that does EVERYTHING, but in a
modular way so people decide what that editor can do. People
could then just maintain one cohesive, feature-rich code base
rather than each one duplicating what is already available
in another IDE/editor.
