Wikia decided to introduce the VE as the default editor wikia-wide because it feels that the majority of people are discouraged from editing by the source mode, while the old visual editor (rich text editor) was apparently phased out because wikia felt that it was too problematic to maintain. Either way, I can't even disable the visual editor (I've already checked after raging about it when I saw that the VE became the default). You can apparently change it on your personal settings though. That's how I switched mine back to default on source.
