I don't know if Win 7 ever fixed this, but in Vista, changing the "edit" target of a filetype is a right royal regediting pain in the ass.

I use Editpad Pro, and while that's not so common, I think a lot people here loathe Notepad as a programmer's editor, and tend to use proper programmer's editors. In win2k and winxp I set Editpad as the editor, but for Vista I had to download a third party app (Creative Element's Power Tools, kinda nice) to do it, because I was too lazy to regedit.

Would be nice if there was an option to select the editor, either at install time, or somehow else. Or just pick it from the default editor for .txt, even.

Nope.
I like Types, though in the time it took me to find that link I could've changed my default editor using regedit a few times over. I had to find it indirectly through some blog, since it has a rather generic name (and I'd forgotten it was on SourceForge).
It shouldn't be difficult to write a script for this, which could perhaps be distributed with the installer. Then again, such a script would probably go unnoticed, so I can see an option in the installer would be useful.
