I like EE, since it works almost exactly like QBasic does, and I started
programming using QBasic.

There are just two things I find annoying about ED:

1) The cursor always moves to the beginning of the line each time you
change lines. That confused me at first because no editor I have ever
used did that.

2) The cut and past method I don't really like to trust. Because you just
delete the code, what if you do a different type of delete by accident
before you pasted something? Hasn't happened to me because I was paranoid
and very careful, but I like not having to worry about that. (I like
confirmation that something has been accomplished. That's one reason I
like the way the text gets unselected after a copy in EE.)

Everything else in EE is fine. (Okay, the color scheme may need a little
work... But that's easy to fix.)
