Years on and it still feels all over the place

With lots of potential they’ve really made it very buggy to use, adding blocks and text I find unfinished and it’s hard to register where you are with adding elements and text to the page.

There are so many very solid UI examples with WYSIWYG’s that are far simpler and more intuitive to use.

When you publish a page is it really necessary to slide out on the right hand side, just publish it and display the page link, because that’s literally the next function you require when creating a page.

Why hide the left hand menu by default? I understand that they’re trying to make the whole experience less distracting but why force that on people, unless you have a very small monitor it’s bad UX.

Other gripe, not being able to access the menu easily, just a link at the top right to basically send me back to the dashboard. Jeez…

The old UI worked, turning that back on because this new one is a mess.

It’s 2022 and it feels like this whole thing needs another big revision to make is feel and operate like something solid.
