Justin Tadlock I honestly don’t think the community will fight over this forever. The WordPress editor will continue improving, and more late adopters will eventually move over. The platform will unfortunately lose some users (it happens with any major change) but continue bringing in new users because of the editing experience. As for Automattic and WordPress.com, they could have kept all of their resources in-house and built an editing experience just for .COM users. It would even be easier to do that. If they had done so, a major portion of the community would be up in arms for them hoarding all the cool stuff instead of putting that effort into the open-source WordPress project.
