On editor support specifically, I have no problem with that. The OS
comes with a number of potential editors as is. The user could start
with that and then use another when it's
The modular approach in general is an advanced user approach to
computing. I love it personally. However, for novices and for those
users who have no real interest in becoming advanced users, there's a
definite need and market for the monolithic application.

Trying to type paragraphs etc. For windows, cursor behaviour is pretty
standard.
