You've pointed out to me that our discussion won't amount to much at the end of the day, and I guess you're right because from what people have already said efforts are already being made in this direction.
And I rather strongly suspect that you'd find that *lots* of the editors we have now would much prefer to stay in wikitext. I'm damned sure I would.
A self-fulfilling prophecy doesn't prove much.
