It's important to note that technically if one were to bypass wikitext completely, you could store serialized wikidom instead and use the visual editor immediately. This is obviously useless for the purposes of Wikipedia, which is why we need the parser that Gabriel is mentioning, and the visual editor itself isn't really mature enough quite yet for this kind of use.
