At the same time, having the bold/italics buttons available in source editing mode can ease the learning curve for editors who are newer to that style of editing. And pages with complex coding require a would-be editor to use source editing.

Actually, I was just thinking that a little while after posting. It is how I learned source code/wikitext myself. I remember I was trying to do more productive edits and found the admins where editing in source mode and they were stepping stones on how I got better at wikitext and templates.

And after I got it- I found other editors just didn't compare- who cares if it seems easier in another mode- if you don't know how to create or edit the template or code at source; you can't do half the stuff source code editors are doing and that is how I converted. Every wiki I worked with to improve- improved drastically with my source editing- other editors are for the laymen. It started though, with the little steps like bold and italic buttons and I never looked back XD
