My understanding is that approach was implemented to cater to the users of Book View. Because I never used Book View, I don't use Page Edit as a replacement for Book View. I use PE when copy-editing, proof-reading etc and I only start it from the OPF.
I have two external editors configured for OPF files, PE and the calibre viewer; four for text files (Firefox, Notepad++. Bowpad, and Notepad); three for images; and three for video.
Book browser Open with is perfect for me, I access all 12 variants in exactly the same way… and the only shortcut I have to remember is the one for "Focus on Book browser" - which I have set to Ctrl+Shift+B.
