I think you've interpreted my use of the term as disparagement, regardless of whether i intended it that way. When I've used it in the context of VisualEditor discussions, what I'm saying is that VE is not for people who've made tens of thousands of edits. That's self-evident.
Some people who have made tens of thousands of edits may never use VE. Others will sometimes, even though they're still comfortable using wikitext and do so other times.
However, supporting and getting feedback from long-time editors is a goal of the foundation and the VE teams (http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/design/2013-July/000804.html).
