That ctrl+click thing is clever. I'll try that. The syntax highlighting? Meh. Editing wikitext without syntax hightlighting is fine with me. Editing CSS or JavaScript or HTML or PHP or what have you in the browser isn't really needed. Proper editors like Komodo or Dreamweaver have so many additional features (and are so much faster) that their benefits completely outweigh the hassle of switching back and forth between editor and browser.

And yes, an editor has to look nice. And it has to be intuitive and easy to use. That's something I will never understand: Why some people focus on functionality alone. If you really care about your creation, make it appealing and accessible. Because if you don't seem to care, why should I? Look at the Iphone: It hasn't become the phenomenal success it was, because it introduced new features - or because it had more of them. It became successful because all other phones on the market were designed by engineers.
