Image editing used to be easy. Due to the varied nature of images we use it is not possible to code css for every situation. I run so many sites on WP and am loathe to update. My clients and I think most peoples clients like simple things. Some of the comments I have read from developers saying it is all easy and we can create multiple classes for every situation are very conceited. I do not want to use a plugin, I am trying to use as few plugins as possible, otherwise wp becomes clunky and slow. I have not personally met or no anyone who thinks that 3.9 is good. WP is great but developers please don't just create updates for the sake of it.
