After some testing, here are my opinions:


 * The fact that category select is hidden when using widescreen editing does not help at all, since it's such a useful feature, but without widescreen editing, there's simply too little room to do comfortable editing.
 * I have to agree with Auguststorm1945 that the removal of everything in the aforementioned wide screen version is a disadvantage for those of us who need more space. Space is extremely limited as it is with the Oasis skin, and the new sidebar on editing too just leaves us with too little room to spare.
 * And while we're changing the editor, why not add an extra option in the preferences to give some middle ground between disabling and enabling the rich text editor. I prefer the superior source view by far, so have the rich text editor disabled, but there are occasional times when I wander how it will look to other editors who are using the WYSIWYG editor. An option that makes source view the default, but doesn't disable the rich text editor, would be nice.
