Life is 90% of my use cases for org-mode

But I don't work with text. I work with semantically meaningful code.

I don't need better manipulation of meaningless context-free lexicographical symbols. I need better manipulation of context-specific, meaningful, rich objects. I spend very little time on the former, and almost all of my programming time on the latter.

This is why you write Lisp in Emacs. :)

Sadly, my employer does not pay me to lisp.

Then find another one. Clojure is quite popular these days.

You can have a good text editor and semantically meaningful code manipulation.

Emacs has had structural editing for lisp how long?

Plus, it's nice to fallback to ctags or ripgrep if your lsp server dies

They are still represented as text in 99% of editing interfaces, and you have to work with that representation.
