Yes, I recall a blog post explaining bidirectional and mixed-script issues, and that basically VE would have to become the first mixed-script editor to be any good at all at handling this stuff :-) So, how usable is it for you mixing up RTL and LTR?
Until summer 2013 it was totally unusable in right-to-left languages. In left-to-right languages it was very buggy, but usable.
These days it's totally usable in right-to-left. Very roughly, the average is about 250 edits out of 2500 in the main space every day. (Did I say that these are super-rough numbers? Maybe Moriel or James have something better.)
There are some bugs in RTL support, but they are all minor. Largely, it's as usable now as in left-to-right.
