Absolutely.
Also all text editors and wordprocessors except line editors designed for teletypes (i.e. everything in the last 40 years except edlin) scroll the user interface and thus are unsuitable for an eink screen.

The eink is lovely to read on. I know you can customise some to be a monitor and buy "monitor" screens, but without special sw they would be horrible.

I write on an LCD laptop, brightness carefully adjusted. No reflected light and no daylight. I read and annotate on the eink ereader. It's MOSTLY reading, so I don't hugely miss having a decent keyboard.
