particularly i like the table editor. i'd be even tempted to edit on
wikia and later copy the table to wikipedia :)

Hoi,
When so many people are turned off by syntax of any kind, it makes sense to
prevent them to see such syntax. It should be there however for those who do
not consider it a turn off.
Yeah, that's where WYSIWYG gets tricky - the complicated bits can only
really be done in code, so what do you do when someone using the
WYSISYG interface tries to edit a page which includes complicated
bits? I'm sure it can be done, but not easily.
Templates and complicated parts can easily be hidden. See
<http://robotech.wikia.com/index.php?title=Sandbox&action=edit> for
example to see what happens to the {{sandbox}} template. Wikia has
been working on WYSIWYG for a long time now, and I hope the code that
is available at
http://trac.wikia-code.com/browser/wikia/branches/wysiwyg will be
useful to Wikimedia in improving usability.
