I need to report recent comments by a couple of users in different communities about how the edit summary dialog is just too big, slow and intrusive - getting in the way of what you are doing. Not being able to edit it in the changes review dialog (like you'd do in the wikitext mode instead) is reported as being annoying as well.

Is it? I was still talking about the edit summary field. Thanks for fixing the title.
I spoke about this with an experienced editor in the Hebrew Wikipedia and noticed a curious contradiction: This dialog was designed with the intention of encouraging new users to write edit summaries for the benefit of experienced users who read the summaries in Recent Changes and Watchlist, but the dialog itself is too bulky and slow in comparison to the wikitext editor, so it *discourages* the experienced users themselves from using VE.
