Server problems caused by 'transparent' self-signed SSL certificates
One of the issues with allowing self-signed SSL certificates to beautomatically used for transparent encryption over https URLs is theproblems that they cause for server-side applications.
Right now, a server-side program that care can more or less assume thata SSL-encrypted connection means either that it is securely talkingto the real end user's machine or that the end user has been activelycompromised (which it can't do anything about). It may thus use thingslike 'you can only talk

Such differences mean that there is no absolute scaleof better and worse, and indeed that the question of which is a bettereditor in general is meaningless.
Let me illustrate this using the differences between the three editorsthat I use most frequently:
