That is good question how to formulate the designation for
characteristics that is not only the text editor.

For me, it is ready user interface that I use to manage the database
and collect information, yet all those functions are still text editor
functions. It is viewing images, PDF, epub, djvu files, it is much
more than text editor.

That is important point that shall be presented.

For me it is: general computing environment
