And my counter-question is "What about a WYSIWYG editor that's good enough to make working directly in wikitext unnecessary for even the most hardcore power-users?"
*Why do you continue to presume that those hardcore power-users Won't Want To Use Wikitext.* I'm *not* one of them, and I damned sure want to.
I think it's fair to assume that there will be people who will always prefer working directly "in the code" (whatever that means). It's probably also reasonable to say that a full WYSIWYG layer which makes wikitext redundant for the user is also a good thing.
In other words, the "hardcore user" should have the option of editing directly, but he shouldn't have to, no matter how hardcore he is :)
