This reads like a promo piece for these companies. It's been tried many times and hasn't worked.
As a developer, I'd love anything that makes my job easier, but that usually is more control and explicitness. I think "always bet on text" is a more accurate future:

- TeMPOraL 8y agoI strongly agree. Text is just much more efficient in so many ways. A tangent, this is related to why so many people - myself included - love the paradigm of Emacs as an OS, i.e. moving as much of their workflow and non-work tasks into the editor. It's because of - severely underexplored elsewhere - the power of the abstractions around text Emacs provides. When everything is text - including the UI - but the text isn't transient, like typically used in Unix, but at rest, like in text editors, you get to employ the same set of editing, navigation and search commands to do vastly different tasks. Combine with how so many things can be represented by text, and you get a very powerful tool.
