Have you tried Ki Editor[0]? It seems to be more into direction that you are looking for. It is not as mature as the rest of the editors but the editing model is definitely an improvement from ux perspective

Hadn't heard of this. So I looked at the docs for Ki.

I see the "Why Ki?", and then it has this:

> Being first-class means that it is not an extra or even sidekick; it is the protagonist.

Eh.

I find it quite off putting.

I guess my expectation is that someone enthusiastic enough to write a text editor with a value proposition of "it's got good tree-sitter-based navigation" would want to discuss why they thing syntactic selection is neat.

Seeing cliche LLMisms doesn't signal the same level of care to me.
