Personally, I've already edited a URL a couple of time today already.
Perhaps you're avoiding doing so because Windows doesn't make it very
easy to do.
If you're going to type in a whole new URL, then the more efficient way
is to use the Keyboard Shortcut (Control-L) and type away, without ever
having to lift a finger off the keyboard to use the mouse.
If you're going to edit the current URL, then the Windows default IE
interface of highlighting the entire URL represents a waste of time ...
.... as well as being internally inconsistent within the Windows OS (as
Mr. Ed pointed out).
In essence, the Windows IE default behavior has *two* "one action"
interface techniques by which you can enter a new URL from scratch, but
*zero* "one action" interface techniques for modifying an existing URL.
And the Mac OS X default interface has one of each.
