Cards on the table, I'm a lisp fan, so I'm probably the closest you can get to directly editing an AST for my dream program. I /like/ the idea of it. I just don't think it is a holy grail endpoint of program editing. Oddly, I do think there is something to making sure all of your data has a literal representation in the code, if you can. Such that I do think being able to directly interact with data is huge. I also love when you can symbolically work with programs. But, yeah, the overwhelming evidence is that this just isn't necessary for things. Both in communication, and in program specification.
