(oops -- lost my message; I will summarize) Impressive!
The spreadsheet paradigm seems unique, even though it might be usefully classed under the oo paradigm. What is perhaps unique is the aligning of interface items, which can then be modified en masse. SublimeText does that with multiple cursors. But in general it is hard to understand how trees align, since branches are not necessarily uniform. (And SublimeText muffs aligned cursors when indenting is not the same for every cursor.) But oo trees do offer some kind of alignment through property names (and patterns over property names). In an ooLeo, headlines are properties with the body as value. As it is, clones already inherit those "properties". It is not difficult to imagine clones where branches could be flagged as simple copies (rather than cloned) that can be modified and still be part of the clone (that is counter to Leo's design, I know). Clone-update routine would simply skip overridden branches. So ooLeo doesn't seem like that far away (theoretically only! -- practically, a pipe-dream!). Some more blue sky ... it is spring :).
