Well, Oliver, and David, too, don't go congratulating on how you showed'em yet. That's bad taste, guys.
See, I'm not trying to "impersonate" or "second-guess" poor new editors, and I'm quite sure, from where I stand, that whatever some piece of blog says, I don't show "mind fallacy" in my reasoning because I just did not mention here another people's experience at all. Simple, eh?
Of course, I'm not native English speaker, so, obviously, I'm expressing myself unclearly and/or awkwardly.
So, one more (last) time:
1) I profess no "love" for the old interface, and 2) I do not compare merits of old and visual interfaces at all.
I say that 3) you won't get your indirectly expected results (participation) but you'll surely get unexpected (?) results (breakage) because 4) introducing new I/O component of that kind of complexity will surely break things in existing text corpus formed with the previous component, such as it was.
What, am I stating the obvious? Sorry, then.
