- Preview is useful, but In VE, categories, importantly maintenance categories, not visible, templates used also not visible.
- Spelling check underlines too many items I use on many entries, including words like Translingual (L2 header); Hyponyms, Hypernyms (L3 headers; subgenera, etc
- I don't understand the logic by which the spell-check works as many words that I would have expected to trigger underlining don't.
- I lose our local (en.wikt) special character tool.
I've completed my trial of this on two entries and will deselect it.
BTW, the only things that the visual ribbon in the normal edit windows does are:
- provide opportunities for me to accidentally insert wikitext I don't want
- cause the window content to jump while I am trying to select some of it, requiring that I start the selection over. (Alternative is to wait the extra 3-5 seconds for the ribbon to load.)
- take up three lines in my edit window.
IOW, I don't use it, so it just gets in the way.
