It is a good question: 

1) we have had the request to keep MapEditor in order to allow projects to 
proceed without the GEF dependency; this feedback did not arrive in time for 
the initial RFC and thus did not make it into the plan / budget. It is however 
technically possible (i.e. make another plugin that depends on GEF and contains 
MapEditorWithPalette)

2) If we do keep both I would like to arrange for them to share code; however 
given the abstract class requirements that is not possible?

a) We could consider aggregation and have them both delegate but that feels a 
bit weak; it would allow handling of status area / tools and so on to be 
consistent 

3) If we do not keep both I would like to delete MapEditor; and rename 
MapEditorWithPalette so we are down to a single choice.

I suspect this is slowing up your "Tool Options" work and thus is something to 
sort out over the next day or two.
