Yeah. Except WYSIWYGs take way more time to do anything non-trivial.
This Friday I had spent about 15 minutes trying to put an editor cursor within an empty code block in Confluence. Is that a joke? Do you know how I fixed that? I copied a non-empty block from another paragraph and then edited it.
It would take me or someone else half a second to do that in Markdown/Wiki/LaTeX.
By Wysiwyg I was referring to Word or OpenOffice or Google Docs or whatever the generally used word processing tool in the org is.
It's totally acceptable Confluence at least tries to provide a non-programmer friendly interface for the domain experts who are not necessarily programmers. But it's not acceptable if the gui is broken...
