What you're describing is the UI/UX design paradigm of prosumer tools like blender. Unfortunately, despite how important this class of software is, SV seems to have institutional blindness to how and why this kind of software is even built.

For example, we have the greatest opportunity in a generation for someone to build "photoshop for text" i.e. a proper GenAI based LLM tool with similar design choices. LMstudio is the only even close example of this, and they're not getting it in the way that blender does.
