Given all the discussion here, we should create a list of what we liked and disliked about each editor we've used over the years, ranked from -10 to 10
Next, we could start an argument about how each item had been ranked, and make changes.
There should also be at least a 100 page document on the procedure for proper ranking.
Then that document should be reviewed and revised until approved.
At this point, specifications for a new editor could be started.
Of course we would have to appoint (through several meetings) an overseer who's purpose is to make sure the correct features prevailed.
After a year or so, we might come up with a list of that all liked.
Next we could write the editor to fit the list naming it something clever (like yacc (yet another compiler compiler) or GNU (GNU's not Unix)) two very clever names
Perhaps something like MEEE (Most excellent edited editor)
In another year, we could all smile at our accomplishment.
Then sit down at a meeting and start a list about what we like and don't like about the new editor
(In case you're getting serious about this ... It's a Joke (or is it? seems like I went through this before))
