An example of the approach of having editors which edit more data is Personal Ancestral File (PAF). The Edit Individual window combines editors for name, main events, other information, other events etc. I presume that more 'other events' etc. can be added into the same editor as required. There are buttons beside events etc. which lead to editors for sources etc.
An example of how a possible combined editor might look, see below. Changing or adding basic information like names, birth and death dates and events (including places, which are not shown on the example) should be done directly on this page. More complicated changes would require clicking on the edit button to bring up the full editor (edit buttons are not shown, except for the spouse).
N.B. This is only a very quick and rough example - it needs to be worked out much more fully.
