Well, I think it's actually the advertisers that are the customers. Besides, new users that don't have as much experience and only know how to use Wikia through newer features are important too, since they are (I assume) more susceptible to ads. People are already working out how to remove the new editor with CSS/JS, so let Wikia's staff cater to the n00bs and I suppose adapt. I can tell you from experience that complaining just to make a point will get you nowhere, and that switching to Monobook is a great solution if you dislike some of Wikia's new features.

With that said, I'd like to say that I didn't really like the new editor originally, since the source mode text was for some reason humongous, but that I've come to not mind it as much since that has been fixed (or maybe it hasn't and I've just stopped noticing it as much) but now I've come to not mind it as much, since the only real trouble with it is no JS in the preview box (Besides a few other problems I don't really have to worry about, the rest is kinda aesthetic).
