" If switching to a different editor can increase my efficiency by even 10% it would save a good chunk of my time and let me get back to making cool things."

Instead of taking us on a long biographical journey of how you found the One True Editor (this week), why not familiarize yourself with Amdahl's Law?

Where can I get clones of myself willing to concurrently enter text so that Amdahl's law about parallelization performance somehow becomes even the slightest bit relevant to text editing?

Okay, fine - law of diminishing returns, the point still stands (although I deserved that for being a smart-ass).

I'll bite. What do text editing and thinking (both serial tasks) have to do with Amdahl's law?

Amdahl's Law isn't necessarily applied to parallelism.
