Gerd, Was there a survey of LON-CAPA authors that told you “that the colorful editor is not used very often”? I ask because the colorful editor, not the WYSIWYG helps people learn to write LON-CAPA problems, IMO. I would hate to see the colorful editor disappear, although a graphic designer may be able to suggest a more pleasing color scheme.
