I think there's a grave naming problem going on, since there's a very
good Javascript toolkit called wikiwyg that is slowly on its way into
MediaWiki in some capacity:
http://www.wikiwyg.net/
I think its the biggest hope for getting wysiwyg editing features into
MediaWiki. I think there are very high acceptance criteria for having it
installed on Wikimedia -- being bug-compatible with every crazy hack
that people do with Wikitext -- but I don't think they're insuperable.
I'm not sure what the probability of that Ajax-y MW code migrating to
the core is, though.
