He said it's rhetorical, yet you answer anyway.  Which is just fine by
me, because I was going to answer too, regardless if anyone else did!

My situation is very similar:  Lots of data from disparate sources,
data is going to have to pass through some lingua franca anyway, and
more often than not, that's going to be some kind of plain text.

Compounding the issue for me is that I'm a Windows Weenie, so I don't
have the fancy *nix command-line tools, though I do use Python quite a
lot.

So editor/IDE support for day-tar wrangling is definitely a useful
feature.  In my opinion, a full-blown database is actually a more
heavyweight and overengineered solution than a well-executed editor
plug-in for plenty of use cases.
