It depends probably on the kind of editing you want to do.
If it isn't too complex (such as moving fragments in time
AND between tracks at the same time while keeping those
tracks aligned), it surely can be done without having the
visual representation.

actually i wasn't thinking of editing as much as mixing. you can remember the solo, mute, gain, and FX state of a moderately sized session in your head without a visual reminder?

editing is actually easier for many cases precisely for the reasons you outlined.
