I hear you. But as somebody used to looking at code in an editor, I actively attempt to avoid wysiwig tools in favour RestructuredText/Markdown, rather than it being "an abstraction I can tolerate", after fighting with formatting in wysiwig editors once too often.
- subpixel 13y agoWYSIWIG formatting woes are all real, they're just not something users understand. (My head explodes when classes are stripped off of a div every time the form is submitted...) If I were the King of the Internet and had to choose one tool for text entry it would be a system sort of like Ghost/Prose.io, where you use Markdown, but can see the results. So even laymen can get the swing of the tool developers prefer. As King, I would also levy a tax.
