Well, any domain-specific task would do better in a custom editor.
I've authored SVG files in vim and in Inkscape, and Inkscape wins
just about every time (I do back and clean up the resulting SVG with
vim on occasion).

But for merely editing text, whether code, prose, or poetry, I'd take
vim any day.
