 The whole functionality (wouldn't call it API) of add_editor_style(), the
 `$editor_styles` global and the code block in wp_editor that parses it was
 added with the assumption that theme authors don't know how to use
 filters.

 is far better.

 -1 to that.

 Developers may know how to ''use'' filters, but developers are really no
 better at '''''finding''''' filters that are named obscurely. `'mce_css'`
 is probably one of the worst named hooks in WordPress in you care anything
 about making hook discovery easier.
