In other words I have an informed viewpoint. Your code (text) representation needs to look like word-processor (errors are like a spellchecker). The abstract representation should not be a syntax tree, the abstraction needs to reside in the problem (or the solution) domain. I (think) that you can use MPS to make models of 'solution domains' and in that respect this is a great step forward (when people do that). However, what I think we get with a tool for DSL-s will be something similar to FORTH and Smalltalk wherein we actually have a tower of babel within implementation environments.
I reckon MPS is going towards the right orientation, and I'd like to suggest considering an alternative 'direction' (if you like) and reflect on open, generative systems like MUDD-s (or game like environments). And remember the 'spell checker' idea!
