As a cross-platform editor, UE has worked extremely well for me for 4+ years
now.  My only chagrin is that I didn't start using it sooner.  I very rarely
edit on the 3000 now, except when it's just a few lines.  CLI editors are
pretty much all the same, it's really up to whatever you're comfortable with
and what fits the platform best.  PC editors are far more powerful and much
easier to use; they have the same interface regardless of the underlying
platform and as such you are instantly productive regardless of the
platform.

UE pulls in the file that you want and allows you to work immediately.  Many
people here are put off by vi on HP-UX, and while I can work with it I much
prefer to use UE to do that work.  As such I have been using it for MPE as
well for some years now.

I don't understand what you mean by UE treating every file as a UE file.
Unless...  Do you mean that when you double-clicked on a file UE would start
up and open it for you?  If that's the case, that's easily curable and yes,
you installed it wrong.

I like QEDIT better for text editing, also, Ultraedit has an annoying
habit of treating every file as an ultraedit file.  Maybe that needed 
to be configured out, but I don't have it any more.
