Ed, Agreed, it's not WYSIWYG but it does have features that help out with markup, such as a cheat sheet and formatting. You can find out more here: http://help.eclipse.org/neon/topic/org.eclipse.mylyn.wikitext.help.ui/help/Getting-Started.html?cp=50_2_1_1#WikiTextEditorOverview
As for conversion to AsciiDoc, it's not currently supported. WikiText does support generating files from within the IDE, e.g. to Confluence, Markdown or HTML, but this feature is not yet implemented for generating AsciiDoc.
