Could you explain what you mean when you suggest a truly syntax-oriented editor? Remember that Mathematica is not like many programming languages in that there are not really different "parts of speech" -- verbs (i.e., functions), nouns (i.e., constants), pronouns (i.e., variables), adverbs (i.e., operators), etc. EVERYTHING is an "expression".
