A Consistent Structural Editing Interface - karthinks.com
The current state of things is pretty underwhelming and convoluted. In 2018 I designed a system on top of thingatpt that was not married to any parser (can use regexps or use tree-sitter or anything else to build things) or to any editing style (modal vs. non-modal). I'll probably never complete it due to a lack of time/interest, but it still seems to me that what's needed is something like this, a library in the middle that could be used for any package like this. Not sure why no one else seems to see how good thingatpt could be.

The State of Structural Editing in Emacs?
I've planned to use treesitter in things.el for a long time, but another package will likely become useful long before I have time to do this.

Effective and efficient text editing using Emacs (Alternative to Evil)
I've designed my own text object/motion system that I hope will eventually bring more "useful" composability to any Emacs user that wants it (see things), but right the implementation is buggy and incomplete.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing symex-ts and things.el you can also consider the following projects:
gopcaml-mode
evil-textobj-tree-sitter - Tree-sitter powered textobjects for evil mode in Emacs
lispy - Short and sweet LISP editing
xah-fly-keys - the most efficient keybinding for emacs
symex.el - An intuitive way to edit Lisp symbolic expressions ("symexes") structurally in Emacs
link-hint.el - Pentadactyl-like Link Hinting in Emacs with Avy
.emacs.d - My personal emacs settings, and the ones used in @emacsrocks
kmonad - An advanced keyboard manager
evil-collection - A set of keybindings for evil-mode
crux - A Collection of Ridiculously Useful eXtensions for Emacs
