I've never heard of the Eclipse editor being LPEX - it might be, but I

Technical vocabulary has got completely out of control. Every platform
overloads a perfectly useful word with some new platform-specific
meaning. You can't say 'view' any more without some really specific
context. Imagine being a plugin developer trying to describe the view
you're extending in a model-view-controller model with a view toward
offering a scripting language a view of the internals via reflection.
Gibberish, feh.

And then I see in File Associations, "Basic LPEX Editor" and "Simple
LPEX Editor" and "Remote Systems LPEX Editor".

Oy! What a mess - it seems to me, at least at the end of this day when
I've been at this job now for a year! (I did slip that in!)

For end users, it's intended to be a black box. Click on a .cpp file
and the editor which has been extended for C++ will open. Click on a
.xml file and the editor which has been extended for XML will open.
