User blog comment:BertH/Wikia's evolution continues with VisualEditor/@comment-3441771-20131016145259/@comment-5448890-20131016210429

Just going to say this out there: Let's not fool ourselves. As soon as the old text editor (the Source Mode) becomes used by only a few, wikia's going to start wanting everyone to change over to the visual, and then, you know what might happen? Everyone begins to lose their knowledge of wikitext-eventually to the point where it becomes an obscure art that only a few who've been around since Wikia was a wittle-bitty baby will remember. Personally, I would just quit wikia outright if they took away source mode.

But wait! They're not! .. :|
