In design mode you are editing WYSIWYG. It should be very, very obvious that you have formatted text, images, layout etc. In source mode you see plain text in Courier New and lots of HTML tags. It's the usual HTML mess. BTW1: Some things we get for free in WYSIWYG mode because browsers give it to us. Some of these things are hard to implement within HTML mode. Some things we simply haven't implemented. BTW2: In Q&A yes, there is WYSIWYG, Edit and preview. Preview gives you a final sanity check and will colourise code snippets.
