To second what others have said, I personally love the idea that a reading interface should include less editor clutter, until it is requested. There's a task for this, if anyone would like to help push that investigation forward: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T106439
There's also some history behind the idea of making the Edit button more prominent... According to legend, there was one an experiment in which the edit tab was rendered with a green background, and it succeeded in drawing more new editors in, BUT... The editing interface was hostile enough at that point that we decided to not go with the more prominent button, because we were driving people towards a broken experience. I'm far removed from this work, so I don't know if this is still the consensus at the Wikimedia Foundation, I'd like to hear more either way from people who are more involved.

What is WMFs position on Wikiwand [1]?
There is no "official WMF position" on Wikiwand. The Wikimedia Foundation is quite a diverse collection of individuals with a range of different opinions. :-)
Personally, I like Wikiwand. I think there's some things they do really well, like their table of contents on desktop, and some things that they could improve, like the clutter of the interface on mobile devices. The performance of their website used to be incredibly poor, so much so that
it
took over a minute to load on my iPhone 4. They seem to have made quite some strides in that area though, because I don't have this problem at all on my Nexus 5.
I've tried contacting them a few times to share knowledge and see how we could collaborate, but I never received any response from them.
I hope they keep improving their interface. I think it's a worthwhile project.
Thanks, Dan
