The problem is, I read through that...and the explanation given is rather unsatisfactory. One of the biggest problems with UCP is the damage it's done to coding, particularly custom coding, which a number of sites rely heavily upon. One-Piece Roleplay, for example, required the herculean efforts of User:BQD just to get tabber fixed, after finally getting references back. Meanwhile, all of the other switch templates on sites such as FTF and Naruto Fanon (who was migrated yesterday) remain broken (with the exception of tabber).

Pushing forward doesn't necessarily mean improvement. Additionally with UCP, it continues to bother me that FANDOM Staff admit that it's incomplete. Who in their right mind implements an incomplete product? That's like building half a bridge and expecting it to maintain the same integrity as the whole bridge it replaced. Moreover, old doesn't mean unuseable; I find it sad UCP is functionally and intuitively worse than what it is meant to replace. Not to mention less user-friendly. And don't get me started on the nightmare that is Recent Changes. There's a saying, "less is more". But I'm afraid we'll have to agree to disagree at this point.
