Thread:Talk:Flow Portal/Interactive Prototype/What about all the nice things Wikitext offers us? Will they be available in Flow?/reply (33)

Do you want to translate all of Wikipedia into your desired markup format? If not, Wikitext should stay in the discussion workflow so that old articles can be discussed and edited.

I concur with the comments about touch-typing, which I have not had success with in any editor which does not have markup format, including word processors. In fact, I have occasionally written Word and WordPerfect documents in a markup format, and written macros (with multiple custom search-and-replace functions) to convert the markup to/from "native" format. I admit to being a power-typist, but I'm sure some new users have learned to type.
