Personally my experience with the VisualEditor was absolutely horrible, for much the same reasons listed by Jessie1010, virago-a-go-go and others.

Please don't even consider phasing out the old visual editor (rich text mode) until you really have all the kinks removed from VisualEditor. (Or better, make it an exact replica of the rich text editor, so I don't have to re-learn how to use the damn thing). Personally I'd infinitely prefer to keep the rich text editor indefinitely as that is the editor that by far works best for me. I don't update my computer to bloody windows 8 just because it's the new thing, and I don't want to update my editor until it comes with a font meny and customizable line spacing.
