The web has HTML and parsing/sanitizing it is a solved problem. I fail to see the need to go back to plain text not to be "fighting the web".

The world wide web is a free platform where you can publish plain text or HTML, but denying that it also became an application delivery platform is fighting against the reality.

I'm an early-internet kid, and even if we are going back to discover the "spirit of the internet", those times are full of contenteditable hacks and custom applet HTML editors.

Being able to edit HTML visually is so common, be it a simple personal homepage, editor to a corporate blog, or a product management tool.
