Better? Are you serious? Random - out of control anarchy is better? I
don't think that your assertion will find much support in this forum.

Yes, and in my opinion the TB editor is second to none. Having said
that, I happen to know that the editor is to be rewritten for v2. I
personally hope that they don't lose too much of the current superb
functionality, although I am well aware that the editor is not
everyone's cup of tea. (Let's not start a fresh debate on free caret
and blank line paragraph delimiters).
However, the editor is not what has really been brought into question.
It is the whole theory of pre-formatting - one of TB's basic tenets
and one of the most fundamental and important differences between TB
and the rest.
If you find this basic concept unacceptable then it seems to me that
you may have chosen the wrong email client for your needs.
