en.wp user Ruud Koot comments:
"People have come to expect certain things of a WYSIWIG editor: [...] when I
input an enumerated list by stating my lines with numbers followed by a dot,
the editor should automatically convert this to a proper enumerated lists; etc.
Microsoft Word provides exactly this kind of functionally. For an experienced
editor like me, having to using my mouse to click a toolbar button takes more
time than inputting this in the source editor. A novice editor, who likely is
experienced with Microsoft Work, might expect the editor to be this intelligent
and not even recognize the toolbar buttons for what they are."
