I edited a proportional for coding, I’ve been using it for 10 years and it’s great except for tabular alignment. So it would be nice if IDEs rich-rendered regions column aligned. eg, object literals in JS, in which space separator are as a wide as needed to align the values. JetBrains MPS has a decision table rendering for DSLs, which is similar to what I described.
