That's great, but most web apps aren't full-blown interactive IDEs, yet the usual dev approach uses the same extensive scaffolding and layering.

I'm talking about the IDE built into the browser. High-complexity tooling, etc is not some inherent property of programming-as-you-can-do-it-on-a-computer-today, just like the simple BASIC environments weren't the only way to program an 8 bit computer of yore. You could definitely make it much more complicated for yourself if you wanted or needed to.
