When I'm forced to put things into wikis or content management systems, I usually edit text in my favourite text editor (via the "It's all Text" extension or similar). Unfortunately the javascript-based editor in this wiki is too clever for that extension to work. Fortunately a dance involving Ctrl-a, Ctrl-c, edit elsewhere and copy back, and Ctrl-v does work. So I guess I wouldn't find it too annoying if I had to use this thing :-). Direct access to the git repository would be nice though.

You're right, same with edit-with-emacs on chrome. Shame, the editor looks nice but I definitely wouldn't want to give up my own editor functions for it.
Now if this was tied to something like a personal Github page I could then just push my changes within my own text editor and shell. Now that would be nice.
