This situation is like human languages: choice adds flavour, but has very little practical value. In South Africa we have 11 official languages, which is great if you don't want to hurt people's feelings, but absolutely terrible if you want to help people to communicate.
As for open source (or "free") programs, beyond there being a choice that doesn't force vendor lock-in, I mostly consider choice a bad thing. I don't want an editor that has some cool things, and another that has different cool things, I want a clear winner that I can learn to use well.
