The challenge is having pages that can be edited both by wysiwyg and in wikitext without the two tripping over each other.
To address this, I think any visual editor project needs to decide which audience it's serving:
- The average user - The average user AND power users
If you're serving power users, the visual editor must perform powerful edits more quickly & easily than typing wikitext directly. If you're serving only the average user, you don't have to worry about this, but complex wikitext (templates & parser functions/tags) needs to be protected against breakage by the average user.
