Editing Encyc:Community portal (section)

== Visual editor ==

I highly suggest that at some point users can have access to a different editing tool known as the "visual editor". Wikipedia and many other wiki projects use it, and it is a better way to edit with more advanced tools to use.

:Three reasons I've passed on the Visual Editor so far.  The first is because pretty much everyone hates it.  The critical community has numerous threads pointing out its shortcomings, and the acceptance rate on Wikipedia is very low.  The second is because sometimes it introduces bugs to the wiki code that can be difficult for humans to clean up.  The third is technical.  It requires another extension and a Parsoid parser service.
