I have to agree with this.  In order for an editor to be any good it has
to be able to put the characters into my file without any intervention
from me.   This will give it a grade of 'C'.  For a 'B' grade it has to
do what I want it to do, not what I tell it.  The only decent editor I've
ever used was in grade school, in a 'home' environment running the 'family'
OS.  There I used 'mother' as an editor with very few complaints.
