This is most certainly true Rich, and so has decided the fate of many once
great programs. I think the point is that people love the compiler, but
yearn for a better editor, or a way to integrate an editor of their choice
into the environment. Why not provide and document the necessary hooks so
that people can use an editor of their choice (you will never please
everybody with an "end-all" editor :-).

Well, anybody listening?
