Because, even though I'm well aware of the fact that lots of experienced
wikipedians love wiki syntax, the wiki syntax must go away, and will go
away. Maybe in five years, maybe ten, maybe twenty. But it will go away.
Investing effort in an IDE for it is pointless.
Templates are, indeed, programs. Articles aren't. Wikidata and Winter (or
something like Winter) will remove the need to edit transclusions as part
of the articles' source code in maybe three years (maybe much less).
Development should focus on that, rather than on an IDE for a language that
should as soon as possible become transparent to all editors.
(This is not an official representation of the Wikimedia Foundation's
opinion.)

Having a side by side really time wikitext - display doesn't sound like an
aweful idea at all to me. I'm quite surprised anyone would find that aweful
actually. I don't understand why you're so dismissive of that idea.

I'm not sure <scratches head>. Well, if we allow lua in templates,
I suppose things actually are already pretty Interesting.
