* I'd like to keep it. Some pages only need minor editing and it can be difficult to wade through all the wiki code in source mode. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] <sup>[[User talk:Shambala108|talk to me]]</sup> 02:13, December 18, 2011 (UTC) | |||
::A lot of my edits involve correcting capitalization and punctuation mistakes, especially misuse of commas and semi-colons. It's much easier to fix these mistakes on a long page if using visual mode. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] <sup>[[User talk:Shambala108|talk to me]]</sup> 00:32, December 20, 2011 (UTC) | |||
* Although there are times when I turn it off -- usually when using non-standard formats -- I prefer the visual code most of the time. It gives me a better idea of the layout as I work. It's particularly useful in deciding paragraph breaks. [[User:Boblipton|Boblipton]] <sup>[[User talk:Boblipton|talk to me]]</sup> 02:31, December 18, 2011 (UTC) | |||

Because I'm not perfect. I go through something, edit it, then later I go back and edit it some more.

And I'm sloppy, too. When I'm busy concentrating on things like changing punctuation, I'm not concentrating on spacing.

::No, Bob, you misunderstand me. One of the problems with the visual editor is that it has a tendency to insert additional spaces, [[Forum:Formatting broken by fancy editor?|as discussed a year ago, when I was quite willing to leave it be]]. Though this has been somewhat fixed over the last year, it still sometimes adds vertical spaces. It's actually ''not'' good at deciding paragraph breaks because of this. I wasn't having a go at your editing foibles. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">20:26: Mon 19 Dec 2011 </span> | ::::No, Bob, you misunderstand me.

:::By the way, Bob, remember that mess made earlier this year on your user talk page? That was entirely the fault of the visual editor. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">20:41: Mon 19 Dec 2011 </span> | :::::By the way, Bob, remember that mess made earlier this year on your user talk page?

Makes little difference from my viewpoint. I do a lot of editing in visual and source mode and I find it easier to do in visual.[[User:Boblipton|Boblipton]] <sup>[[User talk:Boblipton|talk to me]]</sup> 20:50, December 19, 2011 (UTC) | ::::::Makes little difference from my viewpoint.

:::Let me see if I understand this. Visual mode screwed up '''your own''' user page to the point that '''you could not fix it''' -- and yet you think it's "easier". How does that work? Is it only easier cause someone else was willing to clean it up and file the bug reports with Wikia? {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">00:28: Tue 20 Dec 2011 </span> | :::Let me see if I understand this.
