Nice rhetoric there...
Okay, fair cop. I also realize that people who dislike WYSIWYG exist, and I understand that some of them have contributions to make to Wikipedia, but I still strongly doubt that even you would not quickly become as comfortable with WYSIWYG as you are with wikitext right now, and therefore I don't consider your current opinion terribly important. Of course, I also don't make the decisions around here, which I'm sure you're thankful for. :)
Well, not if you're gonna come with the "I don't consider your opinion terribly important" stuff... but at least you're honest. :-)
On a somewhat different topic . . . the WYSIWYG editor we use will be open-source, yes? If so, and if it's under development, where's the repo? If not . . . that's a surprise, I must say.
Someone posted links; I haven't looked yet: there was no source there?
But if it's all original code, no, there's nothing essentially unethical about not doing your initial development out of the fishbowl. It may not be the *smartest* move, but there are arguments on both sides.
