I have an intuition that any line editor would find its limits quite fast for most existing code. (After having used ed a bit on regular files I came across, it's often both surprisingly useful and surprisingly obtuse compared with Vim.) Now, maybe a semantic structured language would find an amazing CLI editor. I'm vaguely thinking something like a lisp, or something with tagged structures. I guess the goal would be repurposing Vim's text objects to generic programming structures. That's as much as I can muster right now!
