The problems with the VE are many and "Lucy" experimental editor mostly only fixes the loading issue. For the nice UI, it looks like many, many other limitations and problems have been introduced that could take years to fix if they decide to fix them.

The more I play with it, the more I realize the OP's criticisms were not far off. I get weird db query errors just visiting some pages and the nice way of navigating to pages by knowing the name and changing the URL is now largely impossible. The amount of things you can do with this new version of storing wiki data is probably less than 5% of MediaWiki and will only work for the most basic of wiki pages. Game wikis will want to stay far away from this new way.
