The problem with editors is that each one has a huge cognitive load for minimal benefit. I can't imagine learning this one just to be able to move blocks around easier.

At this point you can just let your IDE's AI refactor any code by just telling it what you want to do.

True, but muscle memory and a couple keyboard shortcuts (or heck, even using the mouse to select and drag the block) is always going to be faster then describing the changes you want and reviewing the output, at least for simple stuff.
