My mail is more than a week old, those features have been activated since then, they weren't available when I sent the mail... But I still think that VE is far from being stable, tested and enhanced enough to be set as the default editor for new contributors. The activity on the various feedback pages is a good indicator that it's not yet ready for being the default editor.
