I very much disagree.  lilypond-invoke-editor alone supports emacs,
gvim, uedit32, nedit, gedit, jedit, syn and lilypad which can be started
from pretty much any PDF viewer and from HTML browsers.

The mechanism does not require a "smart editor" at all.  It is enough to
have any old editor that has command line options for positioning inside
of a file.

A working point-and-click is quite important for someone beginning to
work with LilyPond (part of the reason for working with LilyPad in the
first place), and it is particularly those who'll not easily know how or
_why_ to turn on a particular feature that is desirable for a specific
workflow.
