The ratio of good reviews vs the horrible ones is almost 1 : 3. This disaster is failing miserably, and yet, it will be shoved our throats no matter what, because they know what is good for us, and we are apparently uneducated idiots, who simply hate progress. The stats on the distraction free writing usage was not a hint for them in what we want and need.

That said, with all the reasons that were given why we absolutely hate this thing (I refuse to even use it's name), their reasoning of the total dislike is timing. Timing, we are talking about timing, not the lack of meta boxes, but timing, not the fact that we have to open and close a thousand little buttons to do simple things, but timing. Not the fact that shortcodes are now legacy items, but timing... I can go with this Allen Iverson type rant all day long...

There is such a hysteria and panic about Medium is pathetic. WordPress is light years ahead and better than Medium. Medium should be chasing WordPress, not the other way around. When you are on top, others do the chasing and trying to catch up to you. This is true in sports, politics, business, and even in this case.

So I guess, if they fix the "timing" everybody will be happy and Medium will simply shut down - got it!!!
