The page module of BE is not a place for WYSIWYG - the task
is to illustrate places of content elements.

Alternative page module (TemplaVoila) resemble this (it doesn't just 
have text with icons and no content- element related extra information)

give suggestion how to improve that - IMO usings many separate content 
areas and content elements in order to get necessary configuration and 
flexibility - singe record for the entire content of page doesn't simple 
work - you must forget that idea if you want to use Typo3.

BE has mixed BE and Frondend module - view module
It is possible to show BE modules on top as a bar and WYSIWYG frontend 
view below it.

As said frontend editing can be improved - and should.
