Our intent by deprecating the 'no preference' option is to give users a more explicit choice over which editor (VisualEditor, classic rich-text editor or classic source editor) they use, rather than having users frequently end up on different editor as they move around Wikia. We aren't taking away user choice in the matter - the edit button dropdown options remain, as do the other user preferences.

Your feedback does matter - if it didn't, we wouldn't keep asking for it :) We can't change everything based on feedback, of course - but we do value it highly.
