Will the method for hooking into VE be the same as for WikiEditor? Or will extension developers need to support both editors in two different ways?
It won't be the same as for WikiEditors, because the two are very fundamentally different. WikiEditor gives you a toolbar that allows you to insert and manipulate wikitext. VisualEditor gives you something similar (a toolbar that allows you to insert and manipulate rich content), but it also gives you inspectors with pop-up dialogs, toolbar buttons that can change state depending on what's selected, and much more. You can also add new *types* of content, change how content is rendered, etc. The possibilities are endless compared to WikiEditor.
