You think that's brain surgery? What are you talking about? WYSIWYM is much easier to use than WYSIWYG.

Absolute and total nonsense. There is a good reason basically every single program out there for the mass market is WYSIWYG, whereas WYSIWYM programs are for highly technical specialists in narrow markets.

I have already given reasons for the necessity of separating form and content.

There is good reason to separate them in terms of files, yes. But not in the UI presented to the user of the program: that simply needs to be managed such that you generate form and function files by using, for example, stylesets.

I think most ordinary people aren't interested in creating style, just content.

So basically you want to disenfranchise people from making websites, keeping it to the realm of the specialists. Lovely! It's precisely that attitude which I intensely dislike.

And even if they did care about style, as I noted, it is entirely possible to create a very intuitive interface for creating CSS.

(And "intuitive" means it cannot contain ANY visible scripting, let alone coding ofc...)
