Another example of user-hostile tendencies out in the wild.

WordPress has decided to discontinue the “classic editor” unless I pay them for it. I can’t do this “new” editor. It doesn’t work at all for me.

I am not sure for whom the new editor is intended or what purpose it’s supposed to serve, but it’s completely impossible to use for normal blogging. I literally cannot understand what the stated purpose of it is when I read the Automattic corporate guides covering it, and I have very high reading comprehension.

Tried to use the new “editor” once. Could not figure out in half an hour how to publish a single text post. Gave up and switched back to the old one. So I wonder again what purpose does it serve? My guess is it’s corporate-aimed, to drive consulting and consulting fees in the professional WordPress dev space.

Bet I am right.
