I don't have a separate code editor and data viewer... I have a program I'm running that allows me to view and modify text files. The data I work with is often in flat files, and frequently in the ten to hundred megabyte range. Sometimes gigabytes or even tens of gigabytes.
Number of files... Let's move it around a few orders of magnitude to see how you feel. All else being equal, which program would you rather have on your system, one which is in 10 files... or one which is in 10,000,000 files? At some point, I think you'll agree, the large number of files installed for a program is an indication that the developers are doing things wrong.

Haha! What a tactic for an argument. I'd love to see that added to yourlogicalfallacy.is but it's so absurd it'd never make the cut. I do feel like you've captured lightning in a bottle there though sir, you've made my day :)
Your argument is "you don't care." My argument is, "yes, you do, outside of some limits. I'm not willing to GUESS those limits to convince you, so let's push the numbers hard. SEE, you do actually care at some point."
Your argument that "you don't care" is not the whole truth.
Calling my argument absurd is rude. Feel free to say you're not convinced.

Can't remember the last time I opened a 2mb file in my code editor.
And who cares about the number of files. It's not claiming to be usb-stick portable.
