I disagree. CSV and cut(1)/paste(1) type formats are ideally edited in a text editor, and the fact that you don't need a new editor for each and every type of file is one of UNIX's greatest strengths. When a file format is designed to be edited with a text editor, that means top-notch editors for the file format already exist, and no time needs to be spent waiting for them, or programming effort writing them.

Things that are inherently visual (i.e. an image, a musical score, a diagram) deserve their own editor, but for everything else, text editors ought to be used so we don't need a new editor for each and every format that someone invents, including XML configuration files.

Now, just to get this thread back on topic, I'll complain about Debian:

The first Linux distro I attempted to install was Debian. I burned a CD and tried to install from that. It proceeded to the point where it asked me what install media I want to use, which, according to the instructions, it shouldn't have done -- it was supposed to know that I was installing from CD. When I manually selected CD media, it told me it could not read from the CD drive, even though it was running off the CD drive and had already copied some files!

So I posted to the mailing list about this problem, providing as much information as possible. Nobody replied, of course.
