It's short for whatawhatwhatwhat?!

Heaven forfend. That's, if anything, even worse. I mean, you fire it
up, try to type in some text, and it goes bonkers, beeping and doing
random stuff. And both of them can't easily be quit, can't easily be
help-browsed, and don't have the normal cut, copy, and paste keys.

Meanwhile, take something like Notepad, Notepad+, Notetab, or any
similar thing. The basic, text editing functionality works out of the
box, with no surprises; a child can use them. For Notepad, that's
pretty much all you get but the others have more sophisticated
features *without* these impacting on the ease of use for basic text
editing tasks. And then, of course, for serious programming it's hard
to beat Eclipse (and maybe Netbeans). Some setup headaches, depending
on the language, but programming language environments are like that.
Emacs and vi would also have to know where to find the compiler, what
to set the classpath to, and so forth, and they'd make it a lot harder
to find out how and set that stuff up, to boot. The actual text
editing itself, in Eclipse at least, "just works" with no headaches
from idiosyncratic, non-industry-standard key bindings, wonky
selection, copy, cut, paste, undo, or redo semantics, or any other
such cause.
