Not everyone like JEdit, but:

 Expected by who ?

There has evolved a standard for UI's.
Top pulldown menu with file ... help.
File has open, save, save as, exit and more.
A toolbar with the most common options below pulldown
menu.
Right click expose a context specific menu.
Etc..
If you open an editor or an IDE or a wordprocessor, then
you expect to see that.
And it enables you to use a tool you have never used before.
I would expect practically everyone working with IT to
know this standard.
Know does not imply prefer or like - just that they know it.
