Emacs Is Not Enough
Basically, when you say 'structural editing', do you mean making an AST for every kind of input and having a modal command language that permits traversal and editing of that AST. Like what sapling https://github.com/kneasle/sapling is attempting to do ?
-
Why are we storing source code in plaintext?
For example, you can edit the AST directly: https://github.com/kneasle/sapling

What are the small reasons to try Emacs?
Some killer features in Emacs, which I would recommend checking out, is imenu and movement by s-expression (functions like forward-sexp). These are built into Emacs and make navigating across or inside blocks of code very easy. I have also seen that lispy, which is usually used for Lisp code also supports Python. Again I can't speak to any specifics about how well these things work for Python devs.

Any way to make lispy format works automatically?
While writing other programming languages with LSP, it formats the buffer once I hit save. Is there any way to make https://github.com/abo-abo/lispy do some equivalent behaviour?

Let's share your top 3 packages that you can't live without.
Without any order magit, lispy and minions.

Emacs/Slime equivalent of some Cider features?
I don't know cider, but...I found lispy mode a revelation in making the easy, easier.

Why is it hard to get started with elisp in emacs
The level of interactivity in your emacs determines how easy trying emacs-lisp becomes. I suggest checking out https://github.com/abo-abo/lispy, it makes it easy to look up documentation (C-c 1 I believe) and evaluate S-expressions on the fly (keybinding is e). Also C-h f, C-h k, C-h v are always very helpful. Also check out helpful (the package), selectrum, marginalia, prescient, etc.

Tree Sitter and the Complications of Parsing Languages
Emacs seems to attract quite a lot of people who want structural code editing. We now have * paredit * smartparens * evil-cleverparens * lispy * symex * combobulate (more?)
-
The State of Structural Editing in Emacs?
Obviously, we have packages like Paredit and Lispy, recently we got SymEx, but these are all for the Lisp family of languages, where syntactic redundancy is very high because of the homoiconicity.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing sapling and lispy you can also consider the following projects:
rustpad - Efficient and minimal collaborative code editor, self-hosted, no database required
smartparens - Minor mode for Emacs that deals with parens pairs and tries to be smart about it.
silver_editor - A small editor for quicksilver and Mergui
parinfer-rust - A Rust port of parinfer.
xedel - Keyboard-centric modal code editor, built with nodejs and GTK
symex.el - An intuitive way to edit Lisp symbolic expressions ("symexes") structurally in Emacs
amp - A complete text editor for your terminal.
emacs-config - My personal Emacs configuration
lynx - A basic text editor in Rust.
babashka - Native, fast starting Clojure interpreter for scripting
kibi - A text editor in ≤1024 lines of code, written in Rust
objed - Navigate and edit text objects with Emacs. Development on pause.
