That’s a huge thread and I couldn’t read everything, so perhaps someone else has already suggested the same thing: I wouldn’t feel comfortable with a fully WYSIWYG Editor, as I want to see the actual markdown. On the other hand, I would prefer a new, “Hybrid” mode, where the markdown would not be visible, but you would still be able to edit the actual text, pretty much how Gutenberg does it in WordPress. Then, double clicking on any element could reveal the markdown.
I don’t think that it is a very big change compared to the current edit mode, where the markdown is revealed with a single click, and I can’t think of any issue that it can cause, because it is, essentially, the same action (click), only done twice.
