User blog:Kylie Jenner's Secret Baby/Pros and Cons of UCP

Hey everyone! So, since many communities are being moved to the UCP platform, I thought I'd talk about UCP in this blog post.

A few users are excited about UCP, but many are sad to see the legacy platform go. In this blog post, I will be listing all the pros and cons of UCP I have encountered so far.

Pros

 * UCP is easier to update.
 * UCP has less glitches.
 * You don't have to add to a page if there are references present in UCP, it does that by default.

Cons

 * UCP's sidebar displays the same page multiple times if it is edited multiple times, obscuring other pages that were recently edited, forcing you to check the Recent Changes page to see other recent edits.
 * When editing an infobox in the visual editor in UCP, you have to keep clicking add more information to see all the fields you can fill. Visual editor infoboxes on the legacy platform don't have this problem.
 * UCP does not have chat.
 * UCP does not have achievements.
 * UCP does not have separate pages for image files and video files, so when you're looking for a file in Special:NewFiles, you'll have to go through both images and videos (though there is a search tool at the top of the page that lets you choose what type of file you're looking for, but it's still easier with the legacy platform's separate pages for images and videos).
 * UCP's ImportJS is faulty.
 * UCP wikis do not have the ability to choose features via Special:WikiFeatures.
 * UCP does not have separate notification icons for messages and discussions, so you can't tell if someone replied to a thread or a discussion unless you go to the thread/discussion.
 * The source editor is slightly slow.
 * When you are changing what the display text of a link is in the visual editor in UCP, you can't just delete some letters and add others or vice versa, you have to click 'Change label'.
 * I would list more, since many other cons come to mind, but my fingers are really tired from typing, so this is the end of the list.
