Agree. I will take it to the discussion page. Wanted to get more feedback
and guidance here but this seems to be an ongoing issue that is probably
not resolvable, at least not now.

The paper focuses, yet again on Visual Editor.
And while I understand

many editors prefer this, any implementation must
service both the Visual
Editor users as well as the Wiki Markup users.
Again, major concerns. I guess unless I have more off-Wiki conversations
about this topic, I will move my concerns to the proposal page.
I believe in Wikidata and want to encourage usage -- and am trying to
use it
more -- but unless you are running queries
it's quite frankly a flipping
nightmare. I love the idea. Usability, not so much. And I know it is
improved and there are many smart people I admire involved in this
project.
But the lack of buy-in by Wikipedia editors is
happening for a reason.
You are absolutely right that this is a big problem. However I believe
that this grant proposal will get us closer to a solution than farther
away.
Cheers
