What about an editor that simply hides outer parenthesis and displays them
as
tabs, for Scheme for example.  Then you could edit in any program, or use an
editor designed for it.  Kind of like editing raw HTML or using an HTML
editor.

I might just adapt this idea for my pet language which uses indentation for
blocks.  I like code to flow like an outline, with as few extraneous symbols
and junk as possible.
