visualeditor has been a thing for a long time now, no non technical user needs to ever touch markdown

It's the same GUI WYSIWYG interface you get by default if editing a page on public wikipedia.
99.99999% of people will never even attempt to edit a page on wikipedia.
Also VisualEditor sucks if you've never used VisualEditor before and sucks even more for anything complicated. This is the kind of tonedeafness non-technical users get to their feedback all the time.
