I don't understand why tools like this aren't built into every editor. Syntax highlighting and code folding are great, but those are ~30 year old innovations; adopting the 'blurry text' approach of the OP (where you can't read specific things), consider the general lack of visualization tools for utterly basic things like loops and branches. How come we don't automatically generate function flowcharts, for example? I use a lot of flow-based programming tools for DSP and the more time that goes by the more perverse the text fetish of many programmers appears, like a statistician that hates graphs and insists everything has to be presented in tables.
