One thing I noticed is the two editing modes. If you just want to go ahead and edit, it says "edit". If you want to do more complex thing and get the markup toolbar it says "advanced edit". Could that be terminology (or thinking) we can borrow? Edit is VE while Advanced edit is wikitext edits. That gives experienced editors some implicit credit that they are doing advanced things.

This is something they've done for awhile I think. And it's  similar to Wikia's option to edit with a form. 

Anyway, this dichotomy (where you pick wikitext or VE while in edit mode, rather than having two buttons) is something Vibha is working on actively.
