User blog comment:MisterWoodhouse/The first specifics on the Unified Community Platform/@comment-954127-20191016233953

So far, everything I hated was given the boot. They ruined the forums with that replacement a few years ago, and while I didn't like Discussions all that much either, it just works better overall. It works well and needs to be integrated into the wiki better. I am surprised that the forums still stayed on a few wikis. Message Wall format was buggy from the get go, that is why I encouraged the wikis I work on to stick with talk pages. The idea of Message Walls was sound, it just was buggy as heck. Article Comments seemed like a good idea for some wiki's, but barely saw the use for wiki's I worked on. The "Unified Profile" is a yellow, not red or green. I worry, but I can see good reasons for change there. "Mobile editor"... -sigh- we must get there soon. I'll leave it at that.

Congrats on surprisingly making very good choices here. This must be the good news blog before you hit us between the eyes isn't it?! lol
