Something I notice about the UI you use is that it tries very hard to emphasize the structured-ness of the underlying engine. Perhaps the middle ground goes back towards Emacs(or rather, a new iteration of the Emacs concept) - plain old text editing is the default, but the underlying editing engine is always working in structured form.

Ultimately, I have to concur with the people calling out the lack of need; if my sustained average is 80 lines of code per day, I'm not being bottlenecked by my type time, but I am bottlenecked by typing errors that cascade to runtime. I would welcome seeing more modes that simplify specific, necessary-but-error-prone tasks like copy-paste-modify.
