To be fair, it's not abandoning wikitext, TW5 uses wikitext in exactly
the same way as current TiddlyWiki, as I've detailed in [twdev]. But
it offers the additional option of keeping tiddlers in HTML so that
the WYSIWYG editor can be used. So it's an additional choice, not a
reduction in choices as I think you're presenting it. The same macros
can be used in wikitext and HTML.

The incompatibility of plugins isn't directly related to the addition
of HTML features; it's more driven by the need to sort out
TiddlyWiki's APIs (which are confusing and poorly documented in
places), and the desire to support features that can't easily be
retrofitted into classic TiddlyWiki.

Best wishes

Jeremy.
