They both have their uses. Source is pretty necessary when it comes to editing a page that may need sections moved to other places or sometimes even parts of sections because visual mode has its quirks. Visual's also key for editing long articles (at least for me, as I can pick out some stuff a bit better just by scrolling through the page while using visual than source).
