I've been following this thread with interest.
As I indicated earlier, I don't have a strong preference for either drafting or editing. Each is aggravating (and delightful) in its own way. However, I have a theory as to why some people prefer one to the other.
Writing a first draft is all about events and character and story flow. It's about what happens next. For some people, that's the most important part of the story.
Editing that draft is all about rhythm and sentence flow and finding exactly the right words. It's about language. For some people, that's the most important part of a story.
