From my comment elsewhere: "This isn't really a New Wikia Editor vs. "RTE" kind of thing. As the blog post mentions, the functionality (i.e. what every button and option puts in and how the editor interprets input) of the editor isn't changing. It's only an improvement of or an alteration to both the "RTE" interface and MediaWiki's default editing interface."
