So, you are going to "break things" for the distant and rather doubtful gain. But do you indeed want "broad and diverse population of editors", so the social problems will, in fact, flare?
Yes, because the editor numbers are dropping horribly.
You're again positing a horrible technical editing environment as a social filter to keep out people you don't like. This is, as I noted, contemptible.
And not, for starters, some kind of organisational "mechanism" targeting the content quality?
Experience suggests that in general, more eyes makes higher quality.
Like I said, I wouldn't say no to something visual, representing the content structure as as tree with collapsible sections. I don't know, something Texmacs-like? But not some sort of not-quite-Word.
You need to understand that there are smart people who are not geeks and that there are things to be smart in that are not technical. You don't seem able to comprehend this.
