Not really.  Using a *single* editor with which
I am very familiar and which has macros, easily
editable highlighers for most languages automatically
selected by file extension, compilation invoked
by single function key (also easily editable),
console output automatically captured and displayed
in a separate window, find which produces a list of
search results, and for Lilypond, single function
keys defined to compile, show pdf and play midi, is
simply more efficient than having to switch to a
separate editor, however good.

The potential additional benefits don't (for me)
justify the inconvenience of using separate editors.
But they may for others, I accept.

Does it have highlighters for texinfo, C++, html, css,
javascript, python, php, scheme too?  All of which I
use.
