ExtendScript toolkit sucks

Is it me, or is it just really fucking abysmal?
- trailing auto-braces are always created one line in
- tabs do not line up from row to row
- line selecting / moving tends to drag the next paragraph as well
- clicking the margin creates a breakpoint, rather than selecting the line
- you have to triple-click to select a line
- find and replace doesn't highlight the currently-replaced text
- auto complete is next to useless
- Data browser rarely works like you expect it
- it's not UTF8 compliant (UTF8 characters show as ?, even when set in the prefs)
I'm sure there's a ton of other stuff I've forgotten as well.
What does everyone else use to write their scripts?
Cheers,
Dave
