Why I don't use the new Visual Editor:

Go to: http://communitytest.wikia.com/wiki/Sic_Parvis_Magna:_Nihil?veaction=edit

Get:
 * Error loading data from server: parsoidserver-http-bad-status: 503. Would you like to retry?
 * Repeat ad nauseum...

To be fair, it does work sometimes, but it is always horribly slow.
