I believe Urbancowgirl’s referring to the edit summary input area. It was much more convenient before. The new one:
 * is hard to proofread because it so narrow; the old one was nice and wide
 * does not take advantage of autocomplete
 * does not preview so we can check the correctness of spelling, links, etc.
 * is hard to tell when you have typed in the last character permitted.
