In reply to Ganidoz.

@Ganidoz: I saw your review public for a while, read it and applauded. Then it disappeared and I got a 404. That was when it hit me...
It is an absolute reasonable review. Better than all the 5-star reviews only stating one sentence and where we all know what type of guys create them: people who have no clue, not the slightest about what WP is or better was to us, a framework where WE can decide what features we want to add.
Having seen your review disappearing made me thinking. I'm having a hard time to trust this WP project any longer since:
- people who speak their mind about this "forcing this baby tool on us" get their reviews deleted but no place offered to join a true discussion
- there is no proof of any market research that this stupidity was ever needed
- acceptance of this tool is measured on the number of installs (what? the latest core update made me install it, you better count the de-installs)
- almost 1/3 of the internet is used as a crash test dummy
- ...
My internal list of this bad business behavior goes on. This is unprofessional, undemocratic and a slap in the face to all of us who expect just one thing: having an option. Like with all other plugins.

I'm all in for a fork that focuses more on security than on bloating the code.
And most importantly, keeps the core being what it should be: the core - and not a playground for adult people wanting to play with blocks.

... "let's make shortcodes great again"

And to the guys who complain about the so called "negativity" and claim that people hate change: you are wrong. In this case you are wrong. Only because you like to play with blocks does not mean that 1/3 of the web has to play with you.
