I can't say for complete certainty that there are no benefits to this update, but for desktop users the update to UCP is a downgrade in every sense. It certainly seems like Fandom is moving heaven and earth to make their site better for mobile users. Meanwhile, they're neglecting the fact that their core content creators are desktop users. That's so important I have to say it again: the core content creators are desktop users. Mobile users are plentiful, but most wikis would not exist without a proper desktop experience.

UCP is unbelievably slow and obfuscates/removes tools necessary for interaction/moderation. Every admin I work with has independently expressed concern or outright hatred for this change in its current form. It's not their job to try and hunt down all the mistakes introduced by a change they didn't ask for. I've tried hard to fix and report whatever issues are within my capabilities, but this update is demoralizing. It certainly makes me and my friends feel powerless and unappreciated. If your response to that sentiment is "Keep reporting problems!" or "Well, why don't you just leave and start your own site?!" it'd really only validate the sentiment.
