User blog comment:Kirkburn/VisualEditor - the past, present and future/@comment-13918697-20140711093839

Switching to "Source Editor" should be a selection that can be seen immediately by those who prefer to edit a page in the Source screen. Hiding this choice inside the horizontal bars button is one of the most anti-user-friendly decisions that has been made by Wikia. Additionally, the "Categories" selection should be taken out of this same button area and moved under the Insert button (translation for the simplicity challenged: insert Categories for page). Either Wikia gives a damn about making editing pages easier -- or it doesn't. And right now, 5 weeks after this blog was published, the new visual editor continues to leave much to be desired. More and more it seems to me that Wikia staff are pulling rabbits out of hats without knowing what a hat is and what to do with the rabbits.
