I would use an editor which makes copy&pasting a thing of the past very happily.

In my experience copy&pasting is a big part of the problem. Some people use it to think less about the given structure and duplicate code, others use it to re-arrange code. Both are tasks which an editor like light table might handle better.

I don't understand how something like copying and pasting could be obviated from a text editor. There are a million reasons you might need this functionality, and they don't all have to deal with poorly structured code.
