Absolutely. Given the thousands of possible ways to edit text, I think we 
actually don't have enough text editors as it is. It's now universally 
admitted that Unix lost the desktop to Windows in a large part because it 
didn't have enough text editors. And since we're oh-so-better than the 
Eeeevil and Stooopid proprietary software editors, and have unlimited time 
and manpower available, I suggest we start right away to write more text 
editors. A few ideas for inspiration :

- a text editor which won't echo anything you type, for autists.

- a text editor with a window constantly shaking for people with Parkinson's 
syndrome

- a text editor showing text upside down, for people who spend a significant 
part of their lives in that position (yogis, trapezists come to mind...)
