It isn't hard for me either. And do you REALLY use the edit bar? I'm
guessing you don't - as most contributors don't.
But how many non-techie wiki users do you have to support? I directly
support, oh... about 300+ contributors spread over about 100 wikis. I've
given several presentations on wikis and several hands-on instruction
sessions on editing. I've written custom articles on how to get started with
wikitext editing and given direct email support.
At a minimum, 50% of those contributors are still handicapped by wikitext,
and another chunk of people simply don't contribute at all due to wikitext.
