You forgot to remove it from the Page editor:

Agreed that the current preview isn't great.

Here's an idea.  How about we add another tab above the Post  
textarea: "Preview"

On clicking the tab, we could save the entry asynchronously, and then  
swap in an iframe (it'd need more height, but that's okay) with a  
preview of the entry.

That'd also fix the issue of the preview loading every time you edit  
an entry, which slows you down a bit.
