Not really. Vi is all I need. I could probably think of things I'd like but don't realize I need. E.g. controlling an editor directly with my brain, so I didn't need to type. Hard to say about the narrower question of whether there is anything I'd want that's possible with existing technology.

Thank you Paul. I'm missing an ability to collapse / uncollapse parts of written text (meaningfully), so you could see only the plan, or summaries of each chapter, or paragraphs, etc. It would require a very good interface to be useful, but imagine the implications for consuming / learning when knowledge is presented in this way.
honestly been wanting to build this for myself forever
Have you tried using Workflowy? More of a list app, but could allow for very structured writing as well...

I'm a big fan. I referred 20+ people to it, so they gave me a pro acc. Love it, but it's not for writing at all.
