Three quick examples of things on the horizon (I'm not particularly saying
we'd actually do these for Wikimedia's use, but if you're going to ask
for straw man arguments… :-)):
- Get rid of wikitext on the server-side.
Are we still litigating "should we
piss off the power user editors* in the
service of making things easier for notional new ones"?
Or have I misunderstood the suggestion?

[* understanding that that's not the *only* thing which killing off wikitext
breaks, merely the one that came first to mind ]
Parsoid can do Parsoid DOM to
WikiText conversions. So I believe the
suggestion is that storage be switched entirely to the Parsoid DOM and
WikiText in classic editing just becomes a method of editing the content
that is stored as Parsoid DOM in the backend.
