I'm a member of a club, and we recently implemented WP for our club website. (I have absolutely nothing to do with the website - I am just a user, reading club news, paying dues, etc.)

One of the reasons it was chosen is because the various officers of the club know how to use a word processor, and the old interface was pretty word-processor-like. These people are not tech folks. one or two are violently opposed to tech and still use flip phones. ANYTHING that takes away from a SIMPLE (I use this interface once a month to update the club news for my area of responsibility) will mean a revolt. And this time next year we will be reevaluating our choice of WP.

It wasn't broken. Why the hell are you trying to fix it?
