User blog comment:Sarah Manley/Try the New Wikia Editor/@comment-1840523-20110622153028

I quite like the new editor, but there are a few issues I find with it... However, there are also good bits to the editor, mainly the layout, which means that everything important (template finder, photos, tables, etc.) are easy to get to. The interface is simpler to use, and much, much easier to use when using touch-screens. One thing I'd like to see is the option to customise the options, maybe through personal /Wikia.js or whatever, to give frequently used templates or chosen templates instead of a standard set of four. But, overall, a good improvement on the Rich text Editor, despite the slowness.
 * There are some instances where the "Visual Mode" can show a page differently to how it looks when published, although these are very few and far between (mostly user pages with lots of pictures, templates and tables)
 * The entire editor seems disconcerting to use thanks to the lack of space underneath the editor, especially when using Chrome. As there is no scroll-bar on the side of the page, when downloading stuff through Chrome the bottom of the editor is cut off.
 * The editor is much slower, as said by people before, especially when editing long pages, such as my normal userpage (although this could be because of very bad internet connections). Even source mode takes a while to load on those sorts of pages.
