No, the way Kirkburn put it implied an opinion: "when the new VisualEditor is judged to have surpassed it in all important ways".

I deliberately reworded it to be objective.

It will be objectively "equal or better" when:
 * It does at least everything the classic rich-text editor can do. (Currently, it cannot)
 * It does everything the classic rich-text editor can do at least as fast. (Currently, it cannot)
 * It does everything the classic rich-text editor can do in equal or fewer steps. (Currently, it cannot)

However, this is probably wishful thinking on my part, as I have absolutely no evidence that Wikia Staff regard those as requirements.

This is why it is very important that you tell Wikia Staff specific ways in which the classic rich-text editor is still better than the new VisualEditor.

You cannot change the fact that the classic rich-text editor is going away.

You can change how good the new VisualEditor is by telling Wikia Staff specific ways in which the classic rich-text editor is still superior.

Personally, I use source, and always will.
