New users might prefer the wall, as it is far more inviting, opening doors to people with questions.

But walls take up far more space, so they can make big pages tedious to scroll through. Furthermore, last time I checked they couldn't be archived, which only strengthens these problems. Once you go Wall, you can't go back. Technically you can go back, but it would cause in-revertible loss of messages.

And last time I checked, current talk pages would be lost if we didn't copy them ourselves. This could be devastating.

I'm on the fence for now, although the cons heavily outweigh the pros from my point of view.
