I'm pretty sure this is not a power user feature. It's like saying  
search are for power users... Google.com has probably proven it's not  
the case :)

Yes but I thought we were re-voting on everything in each UI domain.  
I'm fine if we agreed about something but I can't find it on
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/NewWysiwygEditorInterface#HMacros 
  so it wasn't recorded as agreed on. I haven't scanned past  
discussions but if you have then maybe you could move the result on  
that page for all topics that were agreed on?

I don't understand what a "placeholder macro" is (did you mean "macro  
placeholder"?). Maybe you mean a "placeholder mode" which can be  
toggled on/off. If so would be nice to include it in the UI proposal  
to see where it would be located.

That's what we had discussed. Now I don't see that button in your UI  
proposal.
