I don't assume that. I assume that many will be sufficiently averse to WYSIWYG editors, based on prior negative experiences with them, to not want to. But I also assume that if there are no areas in which the editor is genuinely lacking compared to wikitext editing, they'll quickly get used to it, like it or not.
You're indifferent to those who are turned off by wikitext, and suspect that they aren't too numerous. I'm indifferent to those who are turned off by WYSIWYG, and suspect that they aren't too numerous. Fair's fair, hmm?
