Description
In addition to using codemirror (for users who are familiar with markdown/html), give the option to user to toggle(bootstrap checkbox?) "Code Mode" or "Simple Mode" and "Simple Mode" could be a WYSIWYG editor e.g. TinyMce. Swap out the js editor for the Body textarea based on what the user selects. Possibly make the option a user Profile property.
I think you are really limiting the use cases of the project for only users who are familiar with markdown/html by providing codemirror.js only(Although codemirror.js is pretty cool for it's intended purpose IMO).

Research direction
Start by locating the CodeMirror integration and the Body textarea mentioned in the issue. Review how the editor is selected and whether user profile properties already support this preference; compare the proposed Code Mode/Simple Mode behavior with the TinyMCE option. Done means users can toggle between the existing markdown editor and a WYSIWYG editor, with the preference stored if that approach is chosen.
