I think SEU is far better than you seem to giving it credit for. In fact, I used it for decades and my only real complaints about it started when IBM stopped actively maintaining it. Over the years I also tried using various other "modern" editors, only to eventually cast them aside as being too unstable, buggy, or just slow and clunky (like Eclipse). In fact, I can only recall one particular instance where using such an editor (Eclipse in this case) actually proved unquestionably advantageous over using SEU, but even then I quickly got annoyed at some of the stupid (IMO) implementation details of it.
