Easy to implement:

On 1331 "Easy" to use, Neil must have had his tongue in cheek, just ignore the thousands of lines of Scite which is just a "test editor", but not easy to write a lexer for a language which was what we are talking about.

1074 is one persons opinion, not gospel truth, only my opinion is gospel truth 😁 [end humility]

"Worse is better" says the user experience is poor to simplify implementation, but I would argue the implementation difficulty of writing lexers in C++ results in a better user experience due to the speed, try opening a big HTML in Geany and in gedit (which uses regex syntax highlighting). But certainly the lexer development experience is worse if you are not a C++ist.
