Come on, I actually like editing using a text browser (at least
I get a much better editor than any browser is offering currently).

Images in many such environments can be loaded and displayed on-demand.
In some browsers there is an option "launch graphical browser for
this URL". 

The only thing that I really miss is a "?" after a "red link". 
It got replaced long time ago by the CSS gimmick and it does
not work on pure text browsers at all, see
