Hi Jed, I'd add the link to your editor project to the first post in this thread.

I'd much rather use / learn wikitext... and would recommend everyone to do so and go for a markup reference accesible in edit mode. Of course, edit-mode will do much better if there was way more than cancel-close-delete.

I believe there's a reason it's not happened for a few years now. WYSIWYG creates bloated html, hence bloated TiddlyWikis. You don't want to ever look at the actual, underlying tiddler. That's why a preview that shows the currently edited text next to the line you're editing would be a much better way of seeing what you're doing than WYSIWYG.
