The difference is that SWTBotEclipseEditor#findEditors() will find all
IEditorReference and you'll have to loop through it to do what you
want. This is useful if for e.g. the file name is auto-generated for
the sake of tests or you want to do something with the
IEditorReference that SWTBot does not provide out of the box.
You'd use SWTEclipseBot#editor(fileName), if you're interested in a
particular editor that you know about.
Also SWTEclipseBot#editor(fileName) provides a wrapper around an
IEditorReference with neat API for performing operations you can do
with editors, while SWTBotEclipseEditor#findEditors() provides
IEditorReferences, with which you cannot do much.
