Adding a gui layer to wikitext is always okay, as long

possible to get rid of, since majority of edits not coming from "new

doesn't sound like a good deal to me.
There does seem to be a common presumption that "us old-timers" would
switch off the WYSIWYG and get straight into the wikitext. Speaking
for myself though, I'd love a good interface where I didn't feel
compelled to do that. I hate the amount of time it takes just to find
the point I want to edit. I'd love to be able to hide all the wikitext
that I'm not right in the process of editing. I can't really picture
such a beast yet, but hopefully someone else can.
