A rich editor is expected to help you in keeping track of what you write. It
can also give you aids like search-and-replace, colours, auto-complete,
etc.

WYSIWYG tools help you if you have little or no HTML authoring experience.
They have other advantages too.

Popular authoring tools will have many Q&A threads. Web search engines can
be a powerful tool for finding help when needed.

Probably people who write HTML for non-professional purposes. However, free
does not mean poor. Tools like the GIMP, for example, are very professional
and yet OS.

I do not understand your question.
