You and I discussed this idea at some point (thanks for filing this as a bug,
Oliver). The current issues I'm seeing with VisualEditor are that:

(1) it's much more time-consuming to add a link (i.e., typing "[[]]" is quick
while finding and using the link dialog box is slow, especially multiple
times); and

(2) it requires the use of a mouse to add a link. :-(

Adjusting VisualEditor to interpret [[]] as a link would be a nice enhancement,
though I see the danger in heading down this road.

Perhaps we need a "I'm old school" checkbox somewhere in VisualEditor. ;-)
