Thread:VisualEditor/Feedback/Cancel button/reply (9)

Well, the user (in the shape of the en.wiki community) did pull the plug, largely as a result of the developers failing to listen. Despite some terrible shortcomings VE was made the default despite howls of opposition and it took a long time to get it removed. This is a shame because VE is fundamentally a great idea.

Going back to the OPs comment "some people could be pushed to saving", that was actually my reaction when the cancel button was first removed; I was thinking I'll save it then fix it in the source editor. Of course, now I know I don't need to do that, but anything that could lead an editor to save something they know full well is wrong cannot possibly be a good thing.
