I think the CKEditor was a lot more user-friendly then markdown. It made it very easy to enter simple text messages with common typographic refinements.
Have you used Markdown much yet? I have been using it for years with reddit, and I find it more convenient to use than a WYSIWYG editor. It makes it easy to do things by typing rather than by clicking a button in a toolbar.
You just had to be careful to never switch off 'source-code' mode once you had messed with the HTML.
Yes, that's the main complaint I got about CKEditor. It would be nice to have an editor without that problem.
The new script doesn't seem to have an exit: when you click 'post' after having seen the preview, it goes back to edit mode.
The new script will show the most recent comments in the footer, which wasn't fully working before, and it gives you the ability to make last-minute changes if you spot something you want to change after posting a comment. Links to the original page and to more comments should be found in the footer.
