The most popular code editors treat it like any other form of text. This leads to all kinds of problems, from grave syntax errors to the seemingly superficial code style inconsistencies. Alternative editors, namely visual programming lnaguages, are available, but mostly in the form of educational tools and therefor have their own set of problems when used productively. But there might be a middle ground wort exploring, between the high productivity of traditional editors and the constrained interactivity of visual programming languages.
