Reminds me of GNU Emacs. The same logic applies to it, after all it does many more things than OpenOffice.org. Many 'savvy' users do have a liking for it. Do you think it is 'good enough'?
that is another monster. I personally know several people who use it for macho reasons, and it is a serious hindrance to their productivity. It is like the harley davidson bike - the owner is so busy tuning it and bragging about it that he rarely gets to go anywhere. If i program, i like specialised tools - one for html, js and css, another for python, another for text editing, another for remote editing ...
