No, I said no deacent web design WYSIWYG interfaces exist. Most programs used by computer users are WYSIWYG!

I haven't looked much into it...

Exactly.

I think at that point, however, it's just easier to see the mark-up, however.

Again, you're expecting people to do the equivalent of brain surgery to make a web page!

WYSIWYM editors are easy to use

Suresure, that's why they're dominant...oh wait, they're not. They're a specialist and rapidly dying breed outside a few narrow fields.
And there there is no need whatsoever, except to protect web designer's jobs, to force artificial separation at the GUI end onto the user. A properly designed standard can and should allow WYSIWYG editing. In good part, the clunky and poorly defined nature of CSS has created a situation where you either code or you go home.
When it comes to a mass medium like the web, that should be clearly and strongly unacceptable! The ability of the average layman to create and maintain a basic, reasonably good looking website should be a
core goal of the web... (And that means a WYSIWYG editor, like the other programs they use on a day to day basis!)
