I completely agree with you. I believe there are tons of things that could be done better, many I'm sure I'm not creative enough to imagine, if the editor wasn't tied to tty. Here's one idea which I'm sure sucks but....I wish a code editor could show images inline where appropriate. I'd personally like to see HTML style comments inline, where by default the comments are shown styled and you can press some hot key to edit them as html, and maybe by default they edit in wysiwyg mode. I know some programmers will complain they won't then be able to read the comments in their editor of choice but that's exactly the point. tty only = stuck in the 70s. How is that any different than if HTML never supported colors, fonts, images, svg, etc? Sure, it's code but some code is better explained through diagrams. I shouldn't have to go find a manual to see the diagram, it should be in the code. And no, text based digrams with +----+ etc are not a full substitue for real images. Heck, I'm sure some of you would like to see MathML displayed in it's rendered form inline in a description of some math function instead of only it's source form.
