I think you would have to go a long way to make it preferable to just using notepad and a paint program. Not because its bad. Just because I think those are powerful and preferable to many map editors.
Personally I would really appreciate the MapEditor more if the auto stuff worked alittle better. The name thing seems to work well. The neighbor guesser for some reason doesnt do as good as Dom1 did even with the same maps. Maybe a terrain guesser would be nice even if it did just mostlyBlue=water, mostlyGreen=plains, mostlyBrown=mountains.
(and of course I wouldnt mind if it could be scripted thru in a non-graphic mode but I know thats pushing it) 
Any word on a gimp set of brushes for maps?
