   If you have to develop different editors dedicated to different kinds of   
   data, then think of how much of the common functionality you have to   
   reinvent: like multibuffer/multifile management, pattern searching,   
   selective collapse/expand of parts of buffer contents etc.   
      
   So much less work to add specialized functions for operating on specific   
   data types within a generalized editor framework that already has   
   provision for such extensibility.
