The reason I use plain text is that nobody has made a similarly universal format for multimedia, and nobody has made tools for that fantasy format like Emacs and Vim. I'd love to use still and moving images at times.

The FOSS world thinks it's innovative but it's stuck in the 1980s. And because of that, ordinary people (and tech geeks) don't have a way to personally utilize and store their copious multimedia - it's all tied to some company's servers. For example, there's no good way to backup your Snapchat or Facebook page, or even better, to create an equivalent locally.
