More user-friendly does not mean better for all uses!!!

Please note that (X)HTML is still being in use. Many people create WWW sites just by creating and editing plain HTML, CSS. WYSIWYG editors, actually, did not yet manage to kill plain HTML and CSS. Keep this in mind, OK?

Hopefully you are going to have any (at the very least, a brand new) text language behind your new ideas for Wikipedia (as you are, perhaps, going to kill Wikitext at all)? And that this language will be accessible and editable in text for all users?

Please clarify this. Thanks in advance.
