As programmers we believe that the true nature of code exists in a text file. A good programmer can construct the magic sequence of characters in their head and their fingers blur as they stream line after line of code into the keyboard without error.
Is this reality? Not even close. There are many problems with representing and editing code in text and we're so used to them just we don't see it.
