With all due respect, "slick and intuitive" is entirely the wrong requirement for a programmer's text editor. This is a tool that you will use for 60-100% of every day. There is absolutely zero value to "intuitive" with serious editors -- a feature that you can't use from muscle memory might as well not exist.

No one would ever call vim or emacs "slick", yet they own the market among the most expert users. That is not a coincidence.
