My first thought is that you are putting a lot of effort into preserving an
option that doesn't work. The first and easiest step is to remove the button
for editing sections using the source editor until you actually have a source
editor that can edit sections. Similarly, your preference scheme seems OK, but
the default should be "Edit sections as wikitext", at least until you actually
have a source editor that can edit sections.
My second thought is that for any choice that presents both, the animated is
far worse, and probably gets worse for anyone that uses an interface with a
long word that means "edit". When I see a page, it has little buttons labeled
"bewerken" next to each section header, and as I'm moving my cursor there, it
suddenly animates and "brontext bewerken" slides out to the side (which is
strange, because my main button for editing source is labeled "bron bewerken").
Not surprisingly, I'm accustomed to having the thing I'm aiming for not
purposely jump out of the way once I try to get there. I'd prefer getting a
popup and having to click twice to having the thing I'm aiming for run away. Of
course, I can try to remember to aim 3 cm to the right of the button and click
*there*, but that is really an odd UI.
In terms of the VE feature that makes me curse every time it occurs, it's
accidentally launching VE because the thing I was aiming for ran away while I
was aiming for it.
