Absolutely. No development environment could claim to be integrated
without including such an essential components.
I'm not suggesting we make people hunt for their own components. I'm
wondering if it makes sense to officially embrace external editors, for
both utility and cost savings.

Apologies that I didn't wrote more clearly.
In all my communications on this I've tried to stress that a good editor
be bundled with the LC install.
But if that editor were external, then the IDE needs only one interface
for managing not only the included editor, but any other editor anyone
might want to use.
Out of the box there's an experience at least as good as what we have
now, and with the click of a Prefs button users could also choose any
other editor they prefer.
