I'm still wondering, when the call was made to disable this option, was it expected this would cause massive resistance? If not, what is the WMF planning to do to better judge that in the future (because imo this was a predictable reaction)? And if so, why was this done silently?
I made the call about a year ago, and mentioned it in several of the dozens of mailing list and on-wiki posts made about the development of VisualEditor since then. Clearly my communication about it wasn't read, or wasn't understood, by the people who subsequently complained, but I wouldn't describe it as being "done silently".
