Both of those are specialized use cases by most people's definitions. For most of the uses of normal people, "daily use" is a good web browser and maybe a mail client, and the Pi should be more than capable of running those. A Pi is hardly a gaming rig or a dev box, and I don't think anyone would claim it is.

That said, Emacs and Vim run fine on a Pi. :)

I run nvi+tmux under an OpenBSD netbook for C/AWK and Perl (sometimes TCL). If flies. No SSD. On gaming, I prefer Nethack/Slashem, IF and retroemulation. Or not, with Scummmvm.

I can always use the NUC at the living for games such as Jedi Academy or Jedi Outcast.
