> Having to switch the DE completely over one simple thing like this is, frankly, ridiculous.

And who is forcing you to switch DEs over one simple thing? The parent comment is merely suggesting that we use the DE that we like the most (or--I'll add--hate the least).

One simple thing can be such a major productivity blocker as to be a deal-breaker in practice.

And the situation where you have to choose between several options that all suck, and use the one that you hate the least, is exactly the one I'd rather avoid, but also the one that seems to most accurately describe the current state of software - precisely because of increasing lack of customizability and outright hostility to it.
