I've written a small patch that allows you to edit Wikipedia articles by just double clicking the page.
Please let me know if you notice any problems or special cases that need to be considered. Note: I agree it would be neat to place the cursor where you click, but to my knowledge this isn't possible with JavaScript.
I've tried it, and I'm going back to the old way. It may be fine for others, but I found that in the case of long articles (even more notably in some talk pages) as I clicked along the scroll bar my cursor would drift off the bar and I would end up with an edit page that I didn't want.
