Well some people will just not be able to get comfortable with markup, even thought the markup is designed to be human friendly it is still markup.
The problem is that we are using the wrong markup language. Those who are not familiar with our markup and--more important--with our structuring rules, can write plain text.
Sooner or later we will have to apply semantic tags anyway. The German team already invented a tagging schema for biographical data. Let's switch to XML now :)
Let's not go down that route with the tagging discussion that is another topic in my opinion. I'm personally quite happy with the wiki markup, but I also see a need for advanced markup for special cases. Novice computer users will not write in any markup in my opinion, that's why there is a need for a WYSIWYG editor for those people.
