fwiw: why do I edit at section level?
* To skip the big bunch of text and templates above. VE makes this need
less relevant.
* To get the title of the section automatically as comment for my edit,
which in many cases is good enough. If VE would support this I would be
happier.
* Years ago someone told me that risks of edit collision are less this
way. I still don't know whether this is true or not, but at least feels
good. No idea whether VE improves the situation or not.
That's it. If VE would deeal with details you find in sections as good
as wikitext (images & captions, small templates, ref & cite...) I would
have no good reason to go back to wikitext other than habit.
