This is really not true at all. Both Wikia and SocialText are working hard to get WYSIWYG right in MediaWiki. It's a big, big challenge if you try to preserve wiki mark-up and functionality (templates, magic words etc.) at the same time. We'd all love to see it, but we can neither make existing Wikimedia content stop working nor exclude users with disabilities or low-end software/ hardware from editing our projects in the process.
"We'd all love to see it" Are you sure about that Erik?
I'm sure that if you keep debating the issue, some people who dislike WYSIWYG will tell you so. But that is not the reason we don't have WYSIWYG in MediaWiki.
