While I understand the point of view, I feel honor-bound to point out that it's trivial to use whatever editor you like, and cut'n'paste (at least in most reasonable GUI environments these days) so that the restriction doesn't *have* to be quite so onerous. (Sun's internal bug tool has the same issues, and I use the same workarounds much of the time...)
Web forms are, in my experience, pretty painful to cut-and-paste into. I've worked with a few bug tools based this way and they usually do nasty things to the text you just formatted for pasting....
