User blog comment:Kirkburn/Design Spotlight: Meet a Wikia VisualEditor Designer/@comment-168424-20140320003847

The attempt to make the target user happy shows, but not necessarily in a good way. As far as I can tell, experienced wikitext knowledgable editors HATE the Visual Editor. The new one does not improve this situation. Also, as an admin, the VE creates many headaches.

Some solutions:
 * Make Source much easier to access.
 * Clearly identify templates that will be poorly supported by the VE (false positives might be good in this case).
 * Allow comments to be seen in some easier way (perhaps a vertical bar with a micro thought bubble sticking out the top, or something).

Also, I don't like the secret black hole that is Special:Contact for discussing VE issues. There should be a Community forum for it, like there is with Darwin.
