When I am teaching people HTML or wikitext, I like to let people know up front that it will require a little more brain-power than they are used to with Word and similar, but that they will have a ton more control over the final outcome if they stick to the slightly more technical method.
Even with Word, if you really want it to do what you want, you have to turn on the option to display formatting tags so you can see why Word is messing up what seems to be so straightforward (blanks vs tabs, new line vs new paragraph etc). I don't care what I see if it's not what I want - but then I used markup systems before I ever used a WYSIWYG editor.
