It takes a very, very long time to make a simple change to a bunch of similar chunks of code in easyC. In a text editor, a find/replace is often sufficient, and when it isn't, moving a cursor and typing a few characters is a lot faster than mousing and clicking and mousing and clicking and typing and mousing and clicking for every line to be changed.

thats why I order(yes its an order) all of our programmers to make liberal use of #defines that way they are always working with words. no numbers any where. that will cut down on 90% of find/replace.
also plan out how the algorithm is going to work before you put finger to keys.
and as far as what can be done in C that cant be done in easy C . . nothing . . nothing nothing nothing. . . dont believe me Ill email you a
variatic macro that one of our students did in EasyC(he only did it to see if he could)
yes its easier to type the individual line of code in C but for ideas its much easier to be using EasyC.
just my $.02 . .but with the strength of the American dollar these days its not worth as much as it used to.
