User blog comment:MisterWoodhouse/The first migrations to the Unified Community Platform/@comment-36153576-20200527085816

Bruh. I know I spoke hyperbole before, btu let me just explain it in a calm manner.

(before you read, i dare you to scream "AAAAH" everytime you hear the word community.)

So, UCP is for the sake of MediaWiki being modernized? Yes, but even when the community DID ask for the MediaWiki update, they asked for the MediaWiki update, not the RemovingAllFeaturesWiki update. No one really knew how UCP will turn out at that point, but now that we DO know... well, there's a reason why just about everyone in the community goes like "HUEUEH UCP IS SO STUPID BLAH BLAH BLAH", you know. So... why does everyone complain? Because this is an incomplete update with many things being removed and staying things being worsened as well. But you guys made it even worse by making it too early, when it's incomplete (though i'd freak out about ucp even if it WAS completed). Also, what does UCP stand for? Unified Community Platform. Wait, let me get this straight: Unified Community Platform, and the middle word means that we should get even the slightest chance to decide if we want this update. After all, what kind of update is not chosen by the community but has the word "community" in it?

As for the claims that "No one wants this" being false, well... not everyone hates UCP as much as I do, but the majority of the community does. I'm not saying they're true, but they're definitely not false. Those comments are... well, semi-true?

While we shouldn't delete the new UCP editor, we should definitely NOT get rid of the old visual editors and classic editors. An upgrade to MediaWiki does not need to remove many features we got used to, in fact they could just be improved as well. For the community, it is going to be a hard, if not impossible, time adapting to a new platform, especially considering that migrations happen even before the project is finished, and the community's distaste for UCP.

Despite my intense abhorrence for UCP, and the lack of features, I believe that the mobile editor is a good idea

This comment of mine is much better than my "uGh UcP iS sOoO aNnOyInG!!!" comments lol. Anyways, I just wanted to explain the problems with UCP in a calm way, just like some other users did.
