Are you advocating WYSIWYG? This is diametrically wrong.
If you are looking at the appearance of a document, you can have no
idea what it will look like after you add a single character to make
that final editing correction: the amount of consequential change is
unlimited. If you are instead looking at the structure of a
document, you may not know its precise appearance either before or
after the edit, but you can be sure that both appearances will be
what you are happy with.
