However, for UCP wikis, the choice at the moment is only Visual Editor of Source Editor, which you can pick in your Preferences. In the first week, it was possible to disable the editors completely, but this has changed (and retroactively to boot). However, the UCP's Source Source was different from the old source with the right module rail etc.; it was closer to vanilla source like Wikipedia has.

If you want the Source Source back, air your feedback with this. I hope it's just temporary because they want to port the current look over, but haven't heard anything about it. "Visual Editor of Source Editor"

This^ is exactly why I think so many source editors are unhappy with the UCP source editor.

"I hope it's just temporary because they want to port the current look over, but haven't heard anything about it."

I wish this was the case, having js pop up to source editor is maddening. But it's looking more and more like that's what it will be- which is probably the most upsetting part of the UCP for me ATM. But I still hope (if that counts for anything) that devs listen and get this sorted.

I almost feel this is to beautify source editor or have it "visual editor-like". I don't want it beautiful, I want it easy to use, functional and faster. I see zero of that (but to be fair I haven't used it enough to see past the obvious flaws) at it's current state and it has nothing to do with just getting use to it getting use to slower and smaller space is simply tolerating it; not getting use to it. And in the end is an upgrade an upgrade if you are tolerating things?

And my other pet peeve, and I am not sure if there is a way to opt out of it is the pop ups to add summary- I just so much prefer this in the editing page and not as another js pop up. I tried to do a few quick edits to test on the test UCP and I wanted to pick up my monitor and throw it by the last summary pop up (and I haven't wanted to damage computer equipment since wiping in heroic mode in WOW trying to get a rusted protodrake (two head seats RIP, but we did finally get our guild that mount)).

Having it as js- isn't the answer in my honest opinion. If anything this has me having unnecessary resentment to those who use visual editor because if we were source editor as a majority I don't think we'd be having this issue (which isn't fair and might not be accurate but I can't help but be upset and resentful about it).
