Thanks for the comments, guys; from the outset I really tried to make the program as good as possible. I hate poor layouts and programs that seem to promise so much and yet deliver so little.
PhotoShop was a big inspiration, most of their controls and tools work intuitively, and work really well, so I tried to replicate this. The docs are pretty heavy going, but in all seriousness, I could sit down with you and teach you everything within an hour.
Recently I've been using FishEd as a user, not a programmer, and I'm very happy with the way it has turned out. It is, dare I say it, a joy to use.
I guess I just wanted the world to stop making their own map editors and get on with making games :)
