Editors were invented before we had window systems.  I think if we had 
invented them in the other order we wouldn't have invented editors at
all, but just built editing functionality into our window system.  Probably
by building an extension language into our window system.  But then, I
am a mh user, who refuses to use a Mail system because I really want a
whole bunch of mail commands fully accessible from the shell.  What I
consider 'the ideal tool size' may be a lot _smaller_ than what you do.
