 * It is not enough to say this is pure garbage.
    Someone responsible, or a whole
   board of directors needs to be replaced and put out to pasture. Why take a beautiful,
   fully functioning platforms, used by 10s of millions and utterly destroy it? 
   Just ego? A really study in psychology, but one which hurts so very many people.

 * Hiya,
 * I’m sorry to say we have nobody to fire, as we’re an open source community project
   [powered by volunteers](https://make.wordpress.org/).
 * With that out of the way, would you mind sharing some details on _why_ you feel
   the new editing experience destroys the publishing platform for so many users?

 * The CEO can’t fire himself…and I don’t think there is a ‘board’ to answer to.
   Not sure on that. However, it does appear there are a few ‘elite’ in the upper
   echelons who decide what is a good idea and what isn’t and then ‘encourage’ the
   community to follow suit. It’s how businesses are run.

 * It’s only going to get worse. This is just Phase 1.

 * I can assure you, getting “worse” is not the game plan, that would be ridiculous.
 * It will get better by way of refinements, fixes, enhancements, etc. Just as WordPress
   has always done.
 * WordPress is built entirely by volunteers, there is no CEO or board of directors,
   and you are welcome to get involved too: [https://make.wordpress.org/](https://make.wordpress.org/)
 * The Classic Editor plug-in exists for anyone who wants to use the classic editor.
