I think the issue is that the undo/redo concept is inadequate. The author's solution of a persistent, read-only history seems like a step in the right direction, but that seems like it's much too slow of a workflow to beat out CTRL+Z/Y/Shift+Z, which is muscle memory for most.
Maybe we need something like a hyper lightweight git that can be controlled via keystrokes.
It's really disappointing how so many interfaces have been stagnant for so long. It sometimes feels like the only software difference between a computer from 2021 and 2001 is that the graphics and animations look nicer, but otherwise is just more of the same stuff.
