If you've been sticking to wikitext, now might be the time to make the switch! No thanks. I've seen the damage these WYSIWYG thingamajigs do to the actual wikicode in the articles (turning spaces into nbsp, inserting pointless linebreaks that sometimes break the syntax, messing with alignment in preformatted code, and so on) and as far as I'm concerned the whole deal was a bad idea that requires more maintenance than before on the part of dedicated wiki contributors. A good example of the mess this rich text editor causes can be seen here...
