"""Sketchup is another nice example of the BPD phenomena. Lots of power under the hood, but it is very good at making the right assumptions about the 90% case of what you appear to be trying to do."""

90% of what you want isn't 90% of what I want.

Therefore software that intuitivly does what you want is software that hits me with stupid decisions and annoying functionality.

There is no one perfect editor, os, language or spaghetti sauce.

This is the heart of the editor wars, the OS wars, the programming language wars, the browser wars, the religious wars...
