My opinion on the new editor.

    My opinion of the new editor is bad. Overall it’s bad.

    Evolutions are to simplify more. Not to make it more complicated what was always simple. And it’s
    this happens in the new editor.

    If we don’t see it.
    Text editing in the new editor.
    In the classico editor, if I want to leave a bold text, just select it all and leave it in bold.
    In the new editor, I have to select the graph to make it bold. What if the text
    it’s big, it gets really boring.
    In a few years; text editing is much more complicated in the new editor. You lose twice as much time editing
    a text, in the new editor, than in the classic editor.

    Then; the introduction of categories in articles is not going well. It takes a while to open. And there are cases where
    they just don’t open, not an hour later, as happens on one of my blogs.

    Having said that.
    The new editor is a bad editor.
    To be a good editor, you have to simplify it even more, which is already simple, in the classic editor. And stop
    make the simplicity of the classic editor into complification.

    Astonishingly clear and accurate reasoning. This new editor, which is seemingly untested, failed.

    Hi there,

    You can still use the old editor by inserting the Classic block:

    Classic Block

    Also, if you prefer your navigation to always default to the classic WordPress look, you can navigate to https://wordpress.com/me/account and activate the option called “Dashboard appearance” as illustrated in this screenshot:

    We also cover this in more detail on this support guide page if you’re interested: https://wordpress.com/support/account-settings/#dashboard-appearance.
