I understand. Use the right tool for the job, I say. For me that is usually EDT. 

One thing I really like about EDT is the key definitions. You can see them and change them without needing to recompile and make a new huge TPU section file (IIRC the TPU drill). Say you take a long vacation. You come back and can't remember some of your key definitions. What are you going to do? In EDT you can look them up very quickly. I don't recall such a feature for EVE. But that was many years ago.

One thing I really like about EVE is box editing. So if I need that, I use EVE. The learn feature is pretty cool, but again, you can't see what it is if you forget later. Certainly good for a repetitive one-shot task though. Or you can write down what it is!

If EVE or LSEDIT some other editor work for you, great! For my purposes it's like using a blow torch to light a cigarette. But some of you need a blow torch. That's fine with me. You've got it!
