It does allow one to do some things that are difficult to do otherwise, and it is possible to get lost in the fiddly details. "The value and the unit need to be separated by a non-breaking thin space!" But the wiki editor has some quirks; for example, it won't allow one to begin a paragraph with an asterisk -- it assumes that that's to be a bullet point, even if the text is done in "visual mode". The only way around such things is to work in "source mode".
