It's a "the worst choice, except for every other choice" sort of thing.

WYSIWYG almost always generates nonsense in the underlying code, which can be very difficult to work with when it comes time to style that code. And since I'm a frontend guy, this is something I'm always having to debug.

The problem there is having to manually maintain code. Once we start abandoning useful technology to maintain the status quo, we don't get progress
