I see your point. One day I'm going to write a guide to choosing your editor, or your trusty tools, for that matter. There are further advantages in choosing an open-source established editor.

It all boils down to a trade-off. As long as you don't invest too much time into learning a tool, you don't mind losing your investment. Recently I have switched to Opera as my default browser. I couldn't stand Firefox anymore, Chrome didn't suit me. Opera is proprietary and closed-source, but then I'm not going to dig too much into its internals.

Have a sweet day.
