I don't really think it is in the best interest of anyone (beginner to xpert) to have things like a dedicated Euphoria editor. Especially one that tries to be 'helpful'.
There are two reasons.
1. What those editors "think" you want to do often is not what you really want to do, and sometimes do it the wrong way. Taking what they give you may mean incorporating some hard-to-find bug.
2. Let's face it, Euphoria is never going to be THE most common programming language, with thousands of Euphoria coding jobs available. Therefore, it behooves anyone interested in earning a living while programming to learn to use the most universally accepted tools for the job.
To put it another way, no matter how many tables and chairs you have built with a hammer and handsaw - I'm not going to hire you to build a house if you don't know how to use a nail gun and a skillsaw.
