Perpetuating it with a dedicated IDE wouldn't help it go away.

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.
So fortunately we didn't invest in something five years ago with an
expected lifespan of 10 to 25 years?
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.

opinion.)
