I dunno, I really like it.  If for no other reason than the vertical 
highlighting ability.  And I like an integrated editor that I don't have 
to configure myself.  It allows me to think about the things I want to 
do with POV, the images I want to make, the techniques I want to explore 
without nerding around configuring my editing environment 'till the end 
of time.
