The .target editor is basically unusable. It screws up IDE's current resolved target just to open the editor. I never use it and I cringe when I'm at a customer site and they double-click the generated .target file that they need only for their Tycho build.
Even if there existed a great .target editor (or there existed an editor with a prettier syntax), the built-in ITargetDefinition implementation itself is very poor.

Did you consider contributing enhancement to the default implementation of ITargetDefinition or to the .target editor?

I think our community would be better off if there were less things in the platform (PDE and JDT don't belong there).

+1.
