Writing obfuscated code is not going to protect it from reverse engineering, it is just going to make it hard to debug and maintain.
Whether you obfuscated your code or not would make no difference to a reverse engineering program since all it has to go on is the binary code in the program itself, any code it outputs will be in a form set by the reverse engineering program.
By editor do you mean editor program ot person? No editting program uses obfuscation, most people do not use obfuscation except if the are entering an obfuscated code competition or writing some signiture type easter egg as suggested by the Wikipedia article your referenced.
Generally protecting the source code is not a issue, protecting the binary is the problem and if you read around the place (like
The Register) for IT related news you will see that siftware piracy of the binaries of there programs and OS is an on going problem that it takes quite seriously.
