Alright, after some experience making pages on UCP here's my thoughts:

1. Not as bad of an experience as I had expected, but absolutely not better than editing with Classic RTE. The further points will elaborate on this.

2. The adding of infoboxes is EXTREMELY tedious for no reason. When adding an infobox with RTE, all of the input boxes are there for you to add your stuff by default. However, when doing so on a wiki with UCP, you have to individually select which boxes to use, which is extremely inconvenient. Not to mention they aren't even in the right order when you do select them.

3. The wide layout is so horrible looking. everything being squished together instead of looking like a normal page that you just so happen to be editing.

4. This is a bit more personal to me, but I like adding in the coding while in visual mode then switch to source to be sure it's fine, but when you try that with UCP wiki pages it brings up the prompt of what you want to add, and when linking to something, you don't get the option to change what the link's text is (for example just shortening a link to a user's page to their name rather than User:(username)).

5. Why in the actual hell is preview page only an option when in source mode? In what world would it make sense to make that option only exist in one mode and not both?
