A programming language is rarely only about the language. Culture, tooling, standard library, testing practices, 3rd party libraries and other things carry significant weight. I find it a stretch to claim that we are dealing with a monospaced text. As you mentioned, it is more than that. The text we deal with is at least: monospaced linted color-coded hypertext. Basically in hand-wavy terms: the more self-aware the text is, the better.
