FTX is not that hard to learn to do the basics. It's way way was easier than
HTML (by design!).

It's not quite as simple as that. I expect a great deal of people are able
to produce quite decent html pages without really looking at the html... by
using editing packages like FrontPage. They are easy to use, and get it

Further, FTX may well be easier to use than HTML. But if I could use
neither, what would be the point in getting to grips with FTX when using
HTML is a far more useful skill to have?

Therefore, whilst what you say is 100% true, FTX is still a (small) barrier
for potential curators like Dave and Eric.
