IMO. the gradient editor is remarkably robust, once the user gets cozy with that right-click menu. Which unfortunately does not give up it's secrets easily. For a user seeking a "two-click" solution, I believe they will be frustrated in most instances.
Takes some getting used to, with trial and error. And for most folks just wanting to bang out a meme, requiring more effort than they are willing to invest.
Have you considered spreading your color over multiple segments?
Instead of:
0 0.5 1
Maybe spread it over
0 0.25 0.5
0.5 0.75 1
Something like that just to get more control points...then play with the math to get the range spread to your satisfaction?
I currently generate the gradient with a script... 80 control points or so, it's just a variable :-) Just wondering if I can get something smoother with fewer control points. "Perfection isn't when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to remove."
