I agree that this would have to be a new editor and not add-ons to

The Text Editor could be made more extensible via composition rather 
than inheritance. Sopot and I have tried an extension-based approach 
to TextSourceViewerConfigurator for Coloration, completion and hover 
(similarly to how hyperlinks are currently supported), and for a 1st 
experiment, it has positive results.
As part of these experiments, it seems like seems most powerful 
editors currently override the default implementation for content 
assist, hover and coloration; changing the default behavior to consume 
some extensions doesn't cascade to them.
Then the Language-Server specific features could either be implemented 
as extension to default text editor or in yet-another-editor extending 
TextEditor and TextSourceViewerConfigurator.
Sounds interesting.
Could you post a link to a github branch or gerrit repo for it ?
