Agreed - it has a large number of options, but life is just too short to explore them all and their interactions with one another. I have editor settings I'm happy with, but I couldn't explain how I got to those settings (probably trial and error in the past). Like many facilities in TB! "beginner" and "expert" approaches would be useful although hard work to implement; the program is phenomenally powerful but all of that power is (potentially) exposed no matter who the user is.
