I did the same. But those non-technical users still ask why they can't paint their text red, right-align paragraphs and insert as many line breaks as their good taste suggests. So it can't really work unless they agree to get a bit technical and understand what semantic markup and CSS are. And then, I'd really prefer to teach them some basic markdown and have them use a markdown editor, only so they can stop believing that "what they see is they get".
