You won't regret the time spent on trying :-)
I forgot to mention: top-class docs too. Actually, it's hard to
find anything in Aurora which is less than excellent.

Of course, it is FTE. Sorry. I even write my emails on it :-)

Of course, TDE. Sorry *again* :-(

For a standard editor, multi-line and nested are not necessary.
Line comments, on the other hand, are a great help when changing
configuration files.
The editor built into the Connect file manager has line comments
only, and it represents a huge improvement over having no syntax
highlighting at all. The comment characters are user-chosen and
associated to file extensions.
Perhaps such a simplified scheme is viable in a standard editor.
No need to have dialog boxes; a manually edited configuration
file would be just fine.
But this is just a wish from one user.
And, please, don't forget to make the editor FDAPM-aware!
Cheers,
Marcos
