And the answer was: to write text, including but not limited to program code, and to modify it after it has been written, e.g. by correcting spelling errors in plaintext or fixing bugs in program code. Even web pages are "text" (their MIME type is "text/html") and though there exist WISIWYG (i.e. "what-you-see-is-what-you-get") editors for them, some webpage writers, including me, prefer writing HTML in a plaintext editor such as Vim or even Notepad because this way we have full control over exactly what the webpage would display (in a well-behaved browser).
