I think the haters against it, just have too much free time to comment about it and no true knowledge of how the project has truly evolved from a developer’s point of view.

That’s on persons opinion.

Having been a WordPress developer since it first came out in 2003, I can tell you I have tried it and find that it is a step backwards as far as a user goes. Things that used to take a few clicks, now take many more.

It’s obvious it was not developed with a UI group in the loop.

I’m all for change and think it will be good in the long run, but to push it out into a core and claim because it has 600000 installs as justification is out of touch with reality. The Classic Editor has near as many so that should tell you something.

It’s the rush to release that is causing most of the push back.

There is very little documentation and many theme and plugin developers are not able to update their code because it’s been like shooting an arrow at a bullseye swinging back and forth.

I personally hate the new interface and find it annoying to work with.
