I agree, and consider this discussion as being a part of that 
complexity. We're accomplishing nothing of much importance really 
by aligning columns and adjusting font size, it's arcane.

I've even invented my own a naming convention to try and make 
text coding more bearable and efficient, but it had only limited 
success. I tried various IDE's but none of them seemed to make 
much difference, it's still text after all.

There are however some advantages with using text to construct 
programs, such as the extreme compactness and near universal 
compatibility with any text editor, however I highly doubt it is 
the most efficient or effective means of building software 
systems. The lack of innovation in this area is rather 
bewildering.
