User blog comment:BertH/Wikia's evolution continues with VisualEditor/@comment-3474542-20131017073055

I'm not a big fan of the new VisualEditor on the community test wiki. It is very slow, clunky and awkward. It is also confusing to use. In my opinion, if you have to learn how to use something in order to edit, you should also be learning the code for the wiki text. It would be better if the visual editor could also show you the wiki-text, and how your changes affect that wiki-text. If it taught users how to use wikitext I might be more interested in this. As it currently exists, I will probably disable it in my personal settings as soon as possible.

For a specific example: to edit template parameters on a page, you don't just click on the template in the general vicinity of the parameter and type, you have to hover over the template and search for a funny looking icon that pops up, then you have to navigate through a maze of gibberish to figure out which field you want to edit.
