I sure hope so, the Wikipedia deployment of Visual editor was a complete and utter disaster. They completely failed to properly test or develop the software prior to implementation and it was rejected strongly by not only the ENWP community but a lot of others as well. The German WP almost forked off completely. I am relatively new here so I don't want to come off as a jerk or overly harsh but I would strongly encourage the Wikia developers to not follow the same path. Take your time, fix the problems and don't deploy until the major bugs have been worked out. I also wonder, will the individual Wiki's have the power to accept or decline to use the VE software add-in or will it be forced? I personally think it can be a good thing but not if it causes a bunch of problems. There are still hundreds of article problems leftover in Wikipedia from the VE deployment there and that was almost 6 months ago.
