If you think adding a GUI editor to Wikipedia is a top priority, you should try to either do some community organizing to push for it, or try diving into the code to get some idea of how hard it would be to add.
More than most institutions, Wikipedia is quite open and democratic and it’s possible for regular contributors to have a big impact, if they’re willing to put the work in.
Making a change like this will be a huge amount of work for someone, which is why it hasn’t happened yet. But if you can gather a team of like-minded folks, with enough dedicated organizing/coding effort I’m sure you could make some good progress.
