This has been the main thing RMS has wanted in Emacs since the late 90s or so. But I think not many Emacs users want it, nor many other Emacs developers. I think this is one of several cases where RMS is fixated on fighting the last war - in this case, vs. MS Word. But in the meantime, the importance of WYSIWYG document preparation as a main thing people use their computers for has greatly declined.

In developer circles, yes, slightly, because of Git, Markdown, etc. For regular folks (90%+ of folks out there), not at all. A doctor or biologist or quartermaster aren't about to write Markdown any day soon.
