Is "what would be useful is an editor that supports design" an echo chamber? Mightbe pretty hard to do right, but not an ordinary idea.

About rich text editors, since there are so many editors (even native) that lag on input I have just assumed that is something that only I care about.

Probably more the "You just have to learn a few HTML tags", which reminded me (since it was quoted in another discussion today) of the comment about Dropbox saying that it was trivial to replicate by getting FTP space, mounting it using some tool and running SVN on top.

Sharing files between NAT:ed computers is extremely hard compared to understanding simple XML.

That said, it's kinda sad we need "specialists" to make web content. Maybe we should abandon HTML for a binary format for WWW 2.0 like with HTTP!?
