Does rebase -i handle this adequately or am I misunderstanding what you're describing here? My workflow sounds like exactly what you're saying here, where "subcommits" are my development commits and the UX is the rebase -i editor.

See my reply to mmebane about sub-commits. Re: UX, specifically the patch editor (git add/reset -p) is sometimes difficult to use. For example, I've had issues with changes that happen around empty lines refusing to apply for unknown reasons.
