• Students in business school study the “New Coke” launch back in the 1980s for an example of a company that almost destroyed its business because it was so out of touch with its consumers. Ridiculous that this editor was added to the WordPress Core — it should have been left as a plugin for those looking for a way to spend countless frustrating hours building pages. It’s a solution in search of a problem.

    This editor broke the Avia Layout Builder in Enfold. While that’s an Enfold issue to resolve, it is fixed by re-installing the Classic Editor Plugin which tells me that by removing the Classic Editor from the core, many plugins and themes are going to run into issues.

    Automaticc has made a huge mistake with this. Now how long will it take them to realize this and correct course?

  • They don’t care. They think, the user is the moron and are not willing to learn. It is a possibility to don’t notice the reason of the 1 Star ratings.

    Many developers have told them, that all things need more clicks, more time, and produce much more problems as before. But, they still don’t get it. Maybe if the plugin has 5000 1 star ratings and 10 times more negatives as positive feedback, they have an enlightenment.

    Reviews are an opportunity for users to express their opinion on the plugin. The development team has advised that they have read each review & that they are definitely used where the review contains useful detailed information on that users experience with the plugin.

    Absolutely true. And the users use the opportunity. It isn’t necessary that every single user explain in detail, what’s wrong with the Editor. Many of them did it.

    The project itself is a one way. The most people don’t like it. The core of the problem is the Editor itself. It isn’t something u can fix with asking the people. The people still don’t like it. If u want to sell something, the user must like it or they don’t buy it. Why is the WP Team trying to do this. They can only fail.
