I think we can agree that VE has some performance considerations, but if
you take a look at the bug report, it's explained why it would be so
incredibly difficult to implement section editing.
Not really. Some sections on some pages are complex, like that example.
Most sections on most pages are bog standard.
Detect the complicated cases and mark those cases non-section-editable, or
mark the set of sections involved as 'must be section edited as one group'.
p.s. Try VE on 26kbps - that is all my mother can obtain currently, unless
she gets satellite, which is too expensive for her - she lives ~10 kms from
what is considered to be a large city in Australia. And she is over 70yo
and has more than 500 edits. She is happy with the wikitext editor (and
learnt it herself with the messy help pages we have) and thinks it is
simpler than word processing apps (which she has to relearn regularily
because they keep changing every few years).
