Doesn't the screw driver/drill analogy work here too? Drills cost a lot more money than screw drivers or hammers, require that you be working with screws rather than nails, and don't work unless you have electricity. Hence, they're not a worthwhile investment for everyone.

If you go far enough, you can cause the analogy to break down, but that's true of any analogy. This breaks down because the ROI for a drill is too short to compare with Vim.

So, notepad, then? :-)
