Text editing is dismal, in general.

Structural editing in Lisps is a great convenience -- you manipulate expressions rather than characters.

Schemoid for Android is an admirable example.

Autocompletion based on my previous behaviors would be great, too: If I just googled “The Shining” in Android Chrome then open the Netflix app, Android should know to autofill the Netflix search bar with the completion (and select it, for easy deletion).
