I do hate how gmail defaults to "quote entire email, hide what's
quoted, and put the insert cursor before the hidden quotation," but
there's an even better way to handle it than "click reply, then click
the ellipsis, then edit out everything you don't want quoted"

There's an option in "Labs" called "Quote selected text".  Click the
"gear", click "Settings" and then go into the "Labs" pane to enable
it.

When enabled, if you first select a part of an email to which you'd
like to reply, *then* click "reply," only the selected text will be
quoted.  Gives you a ton of control over what gets quoted, *AND* it
even positions your insert cursor *after* the quoted text.

Try it, you might like it.
