Who needs a WYSIWYG editor when you have readable source code which can be easily converted to an html document?

Many people. Text editors and word processors are different tools serving different needs.

Try auto-generating a table of contents in your Markdown document or inserting a table with live formulas (you can, of course, use external tools to achieve any functionality...).
