1. Could you recommend some of these good WYSIWYG editors you claim exist? The ones I've seen are all slow or awkward (basically not having enough keyboard shortcuts) or get confused when I delete part of the text (and usually have all of these problems).

2. It sounds like you are only concerned in producing HTML. I like using markdown for everything. Using the excellent Pandoc I produce both HTML and pretty PDFs from markdown text, with nice looking formulas too. (PDFs are produce through LaTeX, for HTML Pandoc offers several options, I use MathJax).




As an end-user I find the Wordpress editor to be pretty good, and Google Docs ok. The Aloha editor looks great: http://aloha-editor.org/index.php

Pandoc looks great. So why not write in HTML or Docbook and then convert to plain text / RTF / PDF etc?
