I don't think this is a good idea, and I don't think it will ever happen on a large scale, simply because programmers use different editors for valid reasons.

It's a dealbreaker if everybody working on the same project has to use the same editor.
Development practices that seem suboptimal for the individual are often optimal for teams. And teams develop all the major pieces of software we use.
- moring 8y agoUsing the same editor is not implied though. Only a common format for "rich" comments that is supported by a sufficiently large subset of editors. This could be as simple as using the same markdown/HTML/whatever comments as before but with WYSIWYG support in the editors.
