Thread:Talk:Flow Portal/Interactive Prototype/Markup-mode *needed* in editor/reply (2)

Well, maybe you should strive to get the native code editor ready by then. Otherwise you'll have a really hard time to achieve Zen acceptance that Flow will be rejected.

I'm sure you followed the discussions around the VE start on English Wikipedia – they were more than heated and I'm glad nobody came to death (merely joking). All this was only because the VE editor was deployed in parallel to the WikiEditor. Now, can you imagine what would have happened if the WikiEditor was removed in favor of VE? I honestly can't (and I don't want). But exactly this is what you are proposing!

I don't mind if the markup editor is part of VE or not. But I'm sure if there is no markup editor available the day Flow should be deployed will be the day it is either abandoned or the day on which many editors will be searching other projects to spend their time on.
