Have you read comments on other sites (e.g., YouTube) and compared to comments on Wikimedia wikis? There's a real cost to reducing barrier to entry. And, for what it's worth, tens of thousands of people engage in lengthy, sometimes multi-year, conversations using wikitext. Perhaps you're the outlier. :-) I hope people working directly on Flow have mastered wikitext talk pages. As we've previously discussed on this mailing list, it's incredibly difficult to build a better solution without first fully understanding the use-cases, requirements, and intricacies of the current system.
