Perpetuating it with a dedicated IDE wouldn't help it go away.
I doubt that. Side by side wikitext and result, making you see the result of either in the other in real time could help adoption of wysiwyg techniques, help improve them, and help people ease in to using them. Your wonton dismissiveness is worrysome to me.

wikipedians love wiki syntax, the wiki syntax must go away, and will

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.

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 spotted this article linked from news.ycombinator.com, arguing -well- what it says on the tin. ;-)
Apologies if someone else already posted a link.

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