Yes, I wish. One of the causes of that is that it has much in common
with DN's internal editor (guess why), which is one of editors I have
used to. Another cause is that this editor will be loaded much faster
that any other descent editor I know. And integration has both
drawbacks and advantages. Yes, it is a matter of User Choice. I only
want to let me have an appropriate option for my choice.
BTW there is a way to use external editor using filters, export and
import. I have tried it but didn't like it. In rare _for me_ cases
when functionality of TB! (and it takes not only editor) is not
enought for me I export/import/edit by external editor manually.
