I doubt it will be though. Anything less than Seth allowing a full download of the database and it becomes a different forum. Even with that it will change in subtle ways.

There is no way around that other than to wait for the two hour edit window to expire. Sometimes a post gets split from the previous one if either is particularly long or will start a new page, but as far as I can see, that's unpredictable.
One can preferentially force source mode. In "User CP" go to "edit Options" and tick "Put the editor in source mode by default".
Weirdly, as a programmer, I don't have it ticked myself, too many wasted hours on UI considerations, I guess.
Yes, this! So much this! TTA defaulted to source code, and I taught myself most all of the source code shortcuts; and I still prefer to write up and format my posts in source before I preview them. It helps me keep things organized whenever I'd do a multi point line-by-line discretion of a post, and I needed to keep proper track of the formatting of quote brackets, or else the entire post would disappear. I'm a real stickler for legible formatting, and always take the time to space things out for easy reading.

Welcome everyone. Sad to hear about TTA, I know several of our members were active on both sites.

Oh also, if there are any plugins that were used over at TTA that you think would work well here, let me know, I'll have a look into them.

I had an account here from four years ago, but I haven't posted here much in a while. I decided to dust it off when I got the news about TTA.

I think we have enough in the staff freezer till we can liberate some more.
We've got some good recipes and we love to share!
Do we have to wear pink on Wednesdays here?
Where are we going and why am I in this hand basket?

It's a shame. A few people who didn't like the vibe here ran over there too, which gave people more of an option. There aren't enough good Atheist forums out there now.
