I don't disagree with you, but:

> non-lame programmers

How many programmers are out there that are "lame"? Honestly, I still to this day work with code written by developers with years of experience who still get syntax wrong. Often I forget that most skills follow a bell-curve, and most developers are not one-with-their-machine-and-language -- hell, even I'm probably not, although some days I might feel like it. I think having a system that removes that barrier would allow that vast sea of average programmers to move closer to that sublime moment where your thoughts are transcribed in code, perfectly, in one go.

from a few decades of observation in the wild, I'm sad to say that it is a surprisingly large percentage. the market demand for programmers seems to exceed the supply of those of us who truly can.

I don't agree with the premise that structural editing is for developers that are (necessarily) subpar to begin with (see my other comment).
