Sure - there would be users for visual html editing. Quanta3 even had it. If we
find developers implementing that - great!

I just said *I* won't work on that, others are free to do so of course. Good
visual editing that creates good HTML/CSS is very difficult, if not impossible.
(but that depends on how you define "good" code). Imho visual editing
should happen in an CMS.
