While I understand the point of view, I feel honor-bound to point out
that it's trivial to use whatever editor you like, and cut'n'paste (at
least in most reasonable GUI environments these days) so that the
restriction doesn't *have* to be quite so onerous. (Sun's internal
bug tool has the same issues, and I use the same workarounds much
of the time...)
