- I see there are usability talks. Improving usability is good, but
targetting at people who don't want to be "technically proficient" (emphasis: DON'T WANT TO BE, not just "ARE NOT") and just want to press a magic button and "that's all" is not good. There are topics like "internal vs external links, users tend to find one and ignore other" - that's ridiculous, that's NOT the usability problem. I.e. I think we shouldn't think of "usability initiatives" as of 100% correct ideas.
The Visual Editor is the candy with which you try to engage them.
Sure.
I think the argument being made here -- it is certainly mine -- is simply "please don't penalize the 'smart people' to benefit the masses, regardless of how many people are in each group".
