I have always heard that language oriented editors were a pain to use. That is what I heard about the ITC Modula oriented editor too, though to be fair, some folks do like it. For myself, and the UCSD Pascal community, I have written a set of ASE macros for the better version of the standard UCSD editor. With ASE and the macros, three or four keystrokes can install another while loop, if test, or whatever with consistent indentation and commenting built in. The last point saves me from ever writing END; END; END. Wanna know any more?
