In reply to Matt.

Oh really Matt? Well..if so you could have even told this:

WP is legacy and its continued use shouldn’t be encouraged.

WP is getting more problematic than other CMSs. The whole “cluttering” situation just needs to go away.

Instead of just removing widgets and reinvent their functionalities with some other called features what if you invented proper media handling to tell the least? Somehow that area just never gets the improvements it would really need. If there are so many devs willing to contribute to core, they should improve that area first instead of touching/removing anything that already exists, works and people rely on.
