Of course they're not. But the answer will necessarily be more
complex -- and much more flexible -- than merely "kill all the damn
boxes"; we can't afford to cater *only* to those editors who can't
deal with complex markup any more than we can afford to cater *only*
to those who can.
(I wonder whether a limited syntax highliter of sorts -- looking for,
say, template invocations image inclusions, categories/interwiki
links, and <ref> tags -- would be easier to write. Most of the
unpleasant markup that's likely to be seen in the average article is
one of those types.)
