I have yet to see an argument on this thread explaining why talk pages are superior to message walls Minimally related to the editing experience, existing purely for social interaction. Dumbed down, tons of whitespace, encourages mediocre discussions. Progression of a debate/counting votes is difficult. As an admin, random notifications from welcoming new contributors/threads being removed. As a moderator+, difficult to monitor each thread as opposed to talk page edits. Also, the entire crap about how enabling message wall completely disables User_talk: namespace access/editing. Could think of a few more things if given time.
