I'll add my 2 cents here. :-)
I personally do like the free caret interface myself. Also, for me,
TB!'s editor took some time to get accustomed to. It was a period of
adjustment and giving and taking. The end result has been that the
shortcomings for me do not exceed the good points. If TB! were to
support an external editor, I would still use this one.
Be that as it may, I strongly disagree with the free caret interface not
being made optional. If the developers intent was to implement an editor
that does basic things in a non-standard fashion they should either make
these non standard behaviours optional or implement the facility to use
an optional/external editor seamlessly.
It would seem that many potential users have been turned off by the
editor and this is a really unfortunate thing because it's really
unnecessary. Editing is one of the core parts of e-mail management and
the user should be able to exercise some flexibility and control.
