Text editors are widely used. What a question... have you not seen
black console screens in companies in Sweden, even DOS is used in many
modern places in the world because some software simply works well.

It is difficult with other people's software. I have tried it, it is
not reliable. Example is the SugarCRM before so many years, failures
on upgrades would block the business. Today they dropped the free
software version, imagine what disaster would that be if I would be
still using it.

GeDaFe worked so well and still works:

GeDaFe - PostgreSQL Generic Database Interface
http://gedafe.github.io/doc/gedafe-sql.en.html 

and now Emacs extends it and provides more interactivity and speed.
