 What you're doing there is the use case of NIP-23 long-form articles. Amethyst is confusing you by making you think short notes can be used as Markdown long-form editable articles. If kind:1 notes are supposed to work exactly like kind:30023 articles then I don't know why we are bothering to make all these NIPs and specialized clients. 
 I'm a layman about all this, I don't understand nips and kinds...

I use Amethyst for most things, because it works, and no one has ever shown me a better client for this purpose, especially when it comes to editing.

Also, apparently posts in longer text clients, for some reason, don't get the same reach as posting in short text clients like I do. For some reason they are less direct. 
 ... And being less direct, they end up not reaching users who are new to Nostr, who are the ones who most need to have a general idea of ​​what Nostr offers. 
 The idea is that you write a longer text thing, it lives there in its own place, you can edit it as much as you want, and in the meantime you can refer to it many times in your short notes for bigger reach. 
 He's just saying the edit is a very useful thing.  This doesnt have to be framed as a binary choice.
