sw-) I would love a 'simple' editor to distribute with Elm  ...
fr-) I simply don't understand why this request keeps coming up ...
Easy.  The user's word-processing editor tends to leave huge ugly
chunks  around,  or indent things which it shouldn't, or generate
``long'' lines.  Some people don't normally use an editor.

For these folks,  we  need   an  alternative.   The  most  common
editor,  ``vi'', is lousy.  EMACS is too {large, slow, difficult,
good for users:-pick one}.  You don't want to know about ``ed''.
