the short sword's longevity in melee is a testament to its versatility.
most weapons are an answer to an armament technology of the time. no one would ever fight with a 2 handed sword if it wasn't necessary for defeating heavy armor. no one would fight with a 14' polearm if there hadn't been a 13' polearm it was meant to counter.
the short sword was the first weapon meant to counter another weapon - the dagger. the extra reach gave the wielder a slight advantage. that was the beginning of the 'arms race', but the short sword proved useful for thousands of years. most other weapons did not have that kind of shelf life.
