As someone who used LQT a lot, I'd say I'd much rather flow replace the
pages I maintained using LQT. Maybe you dislike flow, but it's *way* more
useful than wikitext for discussion. I never want to go back to the days
where I needed to discuss things with wikitext ever again. Wikitext
discussion pages are just the absolute worst.
