Isn’t the barrier a convention? Christian is trying to change the convention.
There are also UI and systematic barriers. It is much easier to find the comment box than the Create new article button, for example, and there is a karma minimum for articles but there is not for comments.
Also, the create article UI doesn’t resemble anything I’ve seen anywhere else, and dealing with the html is a pain.
And uses a gratuitously different syntax from the comments.
