As if it's possible for a wysiwyg editor to produce pretty, unbloated markup/css AND support complex--nearly unlimited--formatting opinions.

Indeed, you are exactly right. You ever see any of those folks that use the iAuthor tool kvetching about the absolute CRAP underneath, so that they can push a few buttons, drag here, drop there? Nope. It's the rest of us poor bastards that they come to, thinking that you can push another magic button and make a MOBI from that that scream like little girls.
(I had a client, for whom we did a massive non-ficiton print layout, with a crapload of tables, illos, you-name-it, and he didn't like something we did...this is in INDD, right--and he told us to "run it through your program again and get a different output."
URGGGGGHHHHH.)
Idiot.
