You seem to have misread me. There is a diff between "doing things more 
complicated than needed" and "adding more complex functionality than 
previous present".
(I don't want to go down the road and start arguing which functionality 
is needed or useful, or ....)

The fact is, that I choose an implementation that was simpler (in design 
and implementation), so it had a lower risk of being buggy, and was 
quicker to implement. But the reason was not that it was simpler to do, 
the reason was that the propper solution will become easier, once some 
of the refactoring (next sentence) has been done.

It goes against the good principle of "do it right or not at all". But 
SynEdit as it stands for now, has become so far a way from good design, 
that it will take a long time to change this (I am in the process of 
trying). I simply decided, that this should not stop me from also adding 
features.
