+1 on blog post. I think it's finally time to celebrate success here. I was using VE for table editing the other day, and it worked amazingly well. Nice job, y'all. - J

I'm glad to hear VE had your back. This actually reminds me, there's a feature we never really advertised in VisualEditor where a CSV file can
be
dragged into the editor and a table is created from its contents.
We need a blog post about what VE is like these days. I suspect too many people who tried it at release think it still intrinsically sucks, and need to give it a spin again now, two years later.
We're planning one, if not a few! Fabrice and the blog team are thinking about how to best showcase VE on the blog, from user and technical perspectives. (Posts highlighting engineering work are among of the most highly trafficked on the blog).
I'd welcome thoughts on what you think we should specifically cover.
Give it a try. And thank Ed Sanders for all things tables and
Copy/Paste.
In particular, listing all the cool stuff you can do with tables. You can take out a column with a click instead of tediously going through each line and trying not to make a mistake!! The VE is the *only* sane way to edit tables.
Seriously, it warrants the hype these days.
And, three cheers for Ed. Hip hooray! Hip hooray! Hip hooray!
