I wouldn't want this thing on any wiki I edit until it can accept wikitext because it is so much easier to explain to people how to do things like add maintenance templates if you can just give them the "code" to copy/paste rather than having to explain about going into the different menus etc. Also, I am struggling to work the hyperlink feature on the new editor, and think it would be good to still be able to use square brackets for linking. Thanks! As has been noted elsewhere, wikitext support is coming, just down the road a bit.
