One reason we don't have more interesting, quality structured text editors: it's *really* hard to implement table-stakes editing operations well, particularly on web. In this video, I attempt to arrow up/down and shift+up/down to select inter-line in 8 outliners. Very yikes.

Isn't it more an issue of block selection (outliner items) being in conflict with text selection? rather than it being a "web problem"?

Maybe. One way to tell: if you were to ask the authors of these editors, I doubt they would endorse this as intended behavior.
