You don't need an editor with a good interface? What editor can you learn without using? What exactly are you trying to express or learn? You seem to be saying that you don't have the patience to learn how to learn a tool, so the tool sucks, you don't want to hear about it. Whatever, I don't have the time to build Gentoo, so I use apt. I'll never say Gentoo is a waste of time or has the worst install interface ever or is the exclusive provance of Linux elitists. That would make me look asinine. There are plenty of fine editors if you want them. Outside of the command line, there's gnome-edit, kate, kwrite and others that make commercial offerings, like notepad, look featureless, stale and difficult.
