User blog comment:Kirkburn/VisualEditor - the past, present and future/@comment-452-20140624141654

I think that enabling the new visual editor before it was finished was a big mistake, one which Wikia repeatedly makes. Just about every new feature is unfinished and contains a bunch of bugs.

First impressions are important, and when people's first impression of the new feature is "another unfinished piece of rubbish", then that's how they're always going to think of that feature.

I was excited about both Message Wall, and the new Forum, but both still have issues which were present on day 1, so it stands to reason that the new VisualEditor will continue to have issues for years to come.

If I had the option, I would disable the visual editor until it was complete, or at least until there were no known bugs.
