The Godot editor is a Godot game The Godot editor runs on the game engine. It uses the engine's own UI system, it can hot-reload code and scenes when you test your projects, or run game code in the editor. This means you can use the same code and scenes for your games, or build plugins and extend the editor. This leads to a reliable and flexible UI system, as it powers the editor itself. With the @tool annotation, you can run any game code in the editor.

"the godot editor is a godot game."
this indicates that the editor is or can be (partially) self-hosting, which is a strongly desired property.
the idea that every scene acts as a macro that can be instantiated (non-destructively extended) is also important and fits natural properties of NOIR that i have discovered independently.
