If would be nice for power users to have an option to disable the popup warning that occurs when you are trying to leave the edit mode while you have done some editing.
See http://youtu.be/gqqswqLd5Yw for what I mean
As mentioned in IRC, we should make this a core feature for MW and just re-use that preference rather than have a VE-specific one.

I'd argue this is unwanted feature mania. If the warning doesn't make sense, remove it. If it does, leave it.
Note that such a preference existed before and was removed when this functionality was merged into core from the Vector extension (bug 46514).
The preference 'useeditwarning' already exists, but this bug is about VisualEditor, maybe the VisualEditor does not respect the core preference or implement it's own edit warning.
