In response to your feedback

WYSIWYG has its own advantages and disadvantages. Editing wikitext directly provides more control over content.

Thanks for reading my feedback. WYSIWYG could be at least implemented as an option for new users or editors that just want to quickly add information. Maybe have it off as default and allow the user to activate it in their preferences.Charles Dayton (Talk) 10:21, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

You'll be pleased to know it's being worked on - Visual editor. The current plan is to have it in use by later this year. Shimgray | talk | 19:27, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

That's great news! Charles Dayton (Talk) 21:02, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
