Line 6: The VisualEditor is a great way for new contributors to dive into editing. It allows for new users to immediately make minor changes to articles. However, for users that regularly ~~use~~edit Wikipedia, the VisualEditor~~, it~~ comes with serious limitations. The most regular editors should use the source editor for most edits, using the VisualEditor only for minor changes. == Differences between VisualEditor and source editor == The VisualEditor is a bit like Microsoft Word or a bit like using Wix or GoDaddy to build a website. Just as these tools are great among casual users, the functionality is poor in certain areas. On the other hand, using a markup language provides far more power and control than WYSIWYG editors. Some problems with the VisualEditor include misaligning comments in templates, messing up tables constructed in a specific manner, etc.
