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 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.
