I think so, but then one really wants an application specific editor
after all. For instance, I'd much rather draw SVG in Adobe
Illustrator than in any text or XML editor. I would rather write
books by hand in jEdit than use a word processor, but I'm weird. Most
people would prefer something like Word or OpenOffice Writer.
I haven't heard of anyone doing it yet, (though NetBeans might in
4.0) but the Ant use case is probably better served by an specific
ant editor.
