I don't know why we're fucking about trying to use text editors to manipulate structured data.

Yeah, it's convenient to just be able to use a basic text editor, but we're not trying to cram it all on a floppy disk here. I'm sure we could have a nice structured data editor somewhere for all those XML, JSON and YAML files we're supposed to maintain every day.
