And I think since adding a headline is actually only 6 chars more than typing the text, most people found UI where you'd have to click "add a new headline here" more to bother than just to type it in. So thats probably the reason nobody bothered to make a WYSIWYG editor.
In Word, you don't need to click anything. You can type e.g. CTRL-SHIFT-2 - another three-finger salute :) But if you type the wrong thing, you see your mistake immediately.
No, this isn't the case. Lack of WYSIWYG editing on our wiki intranet is the biggest impediment to wide-scale adoption. Period.
People feel overwhelmed as it is by their computers. MediaWiki markup to them is just another language they don't have time to learn. And I don't blame them.
Couldn't agree more.
