I am not a programmer, but see no reason why editing something in a Wiki should 
be any harder than using a modern WYSIWYG word processor like in LibreOffice

The reason is simply that it took several years of work by a team of multiple developers.

The LibrePlanet wiki is using a really bare-bones install of MediaWiki. Nowadays the packaging is more extensive in Debian (and Ubuntu PPA) so it should be possible to improve the user experience without much effort:

VisualEditor may be included in a future release.
