Anyone really could benefit from it. The replacements are wikis, so if
you want to edit via the web like you do now, that's still available.

Several of them support multiple formats, so that would depend on the
replacement chosen.

Yes I would benefit from this change, but it is not a case of optimizing
for one. It is a case of opening up the use of the wiki to the largest
audiance possible. This is just good universal design.
