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.
No but I'm suggesting it might be an obstacle to having development of it prioritised.
I did post this thread to the wrong email list and I apologise for that, although many people here seem keen to discuss the matter. I'm getting a more appropriate response on the other list.
By the way, I'm not necessarily talking about "WYSIWYG in MediaWiki" either. It's more about WYSIWYG for Wikimedia projects. If integrating an editor into the current environment is so difficult maybe there needs to be a new approach, such as developing new software/syntax with some type of WYSIWYG editor built in from the start.
