My problem is that I don't want to use them. Unless they use markdown or another simple formatting language behind the scene, and allow you to switch to a simple `<textarea>` input, you can't avoid them.

I already have a text editor, I already have a way to generate "rich" text, I don't need another tool with another set of bindings, quirks, bugs and incompatibilities. Every editor has its own way to deal with very basic stuff: when writing a list what happens if you press return twice? Backspace on an empty element? Tab? You can't know beforehand.

I'm fine with giving tools to non-technical users, but there should be a way to disable such editors completely so it can adapt to any workflow.
