TL;DR: 

Unless VE team wants to own it, I think E3 can handle any tours of basic
editing functionality (with and without VE). What we have is 1/2 way toward the
changes Erik requested. 

Full details: 

We are working on adding better VE support in GuidedTour currently, and I've
added Matt Flaschen since he's tackling that. We are shooting for feature
parity with our previous guided tour of editing for the first time delivered to
GettingStarted editors, with the exception being that there is no Preview step
to point to in VE. 

Also, soon we hope to test delivering a guided tour to all newly-registered
editors, outside the GettingStarted funnel. (Docs:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Guided_tours). Whether we run that
test on a wiki like Spanish or French instead of English depends on l10n of the
"first edit" tour and whether VE support is ready. S Page is helping out with
this test, so I've added him as well. 

If we're interested in pointing out the difference between VE and wikitext to
users right away, we could easily build that in as step for the guided tours
delivered via GettingStarted and the general "first edit" tour we're planning.
Currently with the tour that's in production, we just point to the Edit button
and section edit buttons. 

I'm open to changing that, but I do think we should be cautious about throwing
too much complexity at first time editors too soon, by pointing out the
multiple methods of editing. I added Pau for his input.
