Just a quick note before any of us provide any code to disable/remove the VE - this can only be added to your personal js, e.g. w:Special:MyPage/global.js, Special:MyPage/common.js or Special:MyPage/wikia.js. As you want it on all wikis, you'd need to add it to your /global.js.

And again, before we make any code, you can disable it as the default editor in your preferences, simply alter what you want as the default editor.

If this isn't enough and you want to erase the VE link all together, the simplest way is to do it with CSS, just add the following to w:Special:MyPage/global.css: display: none; }
 * 1) ca-ve-edit {

Assuming we don't fall afoul of another bug where all edit links default to the VE, this should prevent you ever ending up in the VE unless you click a link explicitly directing you to it.
