The PL designer can always customize an editor off the shelf (e.g., Eclipse), and this is what happens mostly. However, I find myself implementing an editor now simply because the idea I want to show off requires many features current editors don't support, like projecting code onto program execution rather than have separate windows for code and inspecting run-time state.
