I've tried the feature and it seems extremely buggy (whether the bugs 
are in the features or in browsers is irrelevant).

Using that to teach newbies wiki syntax is like putting someone in a car 
that has a number of malfunctions and hoping they'd use it to learn to 
drive.

Implementations of the same kind of toolbar that I have seen elsewhere 
(namely, LiveJournal ;-) ), weren't any better. Fortunately, they were 
wise enough to not make it default.

I strongly vote against enabling it by default.
