I fundamentally agree that doing less and doing it well is a virtue in software, but people don't "just" "edit text." When I edit text I'm either writing a document/web page (where I need to format it in addition to editing the text), or writing code (where I need to debug and test it). I still use Vim when I ssh into my firm's Linux server and I'm so glad that it works--so well--over a remote session. But for actually writing a program, I'm happy to have a proper IDE.
