In theory, I agree. Realistically, most new editors don't know the
difference between A and B, or how it will affect their

This is a really interesting idea - not just for VE but for other
new-user tools as well.

Thanks, but in FR.Wikipedia.org you only have the opt-out option (disable
visual editor) :-(

Honestly speaking I'd disable Visual Editor for new users. They have a
tendency of making errors.

Before Visual Editor was invented, we complained about people starting
editing right away and making mistakes. I'm not sure this is a
completely tool-linked issue ;-)

This is very true; there is a gap between what (most) beginners like

Visual Editor for newbies has caused a lot of pages to 'break' as I have

You're correct Srikanth; I'd like to think that VisualEditor will be the

and is missing too many features to be ideal for new editors. It is,
however, getting better every time I use it, so it is inching closer
incrementally.
