    Qt creator doesn't allow cursor to go past end of line; this makes editing less convenient, because it introduces a hidden variable which user must keep track of. What is the rationale of such behavior?

      Because the end of line IS the end of the line. By definition there is nothing past it. There is a physical Carriage Return character present. Otherwise, the editor would have to keep track of magically inserting and removing spaces randomly at the ends of the line to allow you to click beyond it.
