Ironically, I think the trend is to get away from the mediawiki language for simplification purposes, but in the same time this results in loss of function: too complicated things can't be done anymore, even though they remain essential. I think the general approach of Visual Editor of having both the simplified interface and the advanced interface, while noting that not everything can be done with the simplified interface but there's always the advanced interface for that purpose, is best. Ideally Flow should follow the same principles : simplifying without incurring loss of essential function, even if there is an additional desired change in appearance. Outsourcing all complex functionality to developers is just impossible, they already have enough on their plate, we need reactivity and specificity, and it's just not the wiki way.
