What it doesn't do yet
In the future we'll be adding more features as our engineers complete work on them. We'll be sure to update you as these are added. These include: [...] Also note that any element that you can't modify using VisualEditor will be obscured with a striped overlay and a tooltip stating that it's not editable. [...]
 * Using basic wikitext markup (link double brackets and apostrophes)
 * Adding a new page with VisualEditor from a redlink
 * Improved transition between reading and editing; making the non-artcile content (right rail, etc.) less distracting
 * I find this somewhat disturbing. The old visual editor "supported" all(?) Wikitext chucked into the edit form, it just couldn't edit what was already there. Why this can VisualEditor not do? Hmm?
 * I believe this answers my question above, in all likelihood. It better anyway. I don't want all redlinks becoming ?veaction=edit&redlink=1 !
 * Improve how, exactly? I mean, I thought the whole point was to make this editing experience as close as possible to WYSIWYG? Or are you going to... *chuckles* ... remove the lazy loading on the sidebar for editing?
