It could be partially solved if people were working on it. And, well, it is. Wikia has an extension, for instance, and there's FCKeditor.
Those are kind of the same thing now. We gave up with the previous ones we tried and instead tried to make FCKeditor work.

The problem is mostly on edge cases but we haven't tested it out a lot yet. It's installed here: http://fp010.sjc.wikia-inc.com/index.php?title=FCKeditor_test&action=edit.

I know this mail is ~2 months old (sorry, I'm scanning through the past 6 months of wikitech to catch up), but ideally typing things like "== test ==" and "----" into FCKeditor's visual mode would insert the relevant visual elements, but it doesn't. However if you type those things in visual mode, then go to wikitext mode, then go back to visual mode, then you get them showing is a wysiwyg way. So I guess what I'm saying is that this would be a nice characteristic for a wysiwyg editor to have: Random wikitext + visual mode === Random wikitext + visual mode-->wikitext mode-->visual mode (hopefully that makes sense!)
