I'm speaking as staff, which means I am a global admin.

I fully appreciate the value of time-saving admin tools. I literally started a company with a friend to build better mod tools for Reddit 4-5 years ago.

As somebody who has designed such tools, used such tools, and now worked on platform designs, I have a unique understanding of all three perspectives. The prescriptive design of wikitext support is not the right decision. I believe we made the correct one to move on a system which solves for the core use cases, rather than the adapted ones, and solve for a better way to adapt later on.
