Last year's research[1] and associated discussion[2] shows that VE did not have an impact on new user retention. However the VE team has made a lot of progress on performance and functionality since then and the testing should be rerun when the team is ready.

What I want to know is this: If a new editor uses VE rather than the

editor, does she or he have a better chance to stick around as an editor.
Would rephrasing the above as 'do new editors using VE have a longer span of continued contributions compared to new editors without VE' be an accurate form of the question?
