That assumes that we only look at program code using such editors, and
ignores all the time spent looking at the code on paper, on web sites,
in messages to each other, etc.

If the source code is hard enough to read that we need special tools to
make it readable, there's not much point any more in pretending that
it's plain text. I hope we never approach that.
