User blog comment:I like saws/Maybe UCP isn't so bad/@comment-961279-20200815164208

It's been like that through all the previous announcements over the years. Some of it is a natural resistance to change. Some of it is because the initial description of what will be different leads to people saying, "We need still need items A and B", or saying, "If you change item C, then that's going to affect these other two things."

Some of it comes from being an early adopter. They want to be the first to try it out and when it's different than they expected or they run into problems, they start the "we want the old stuff back" chant.

I had a small experience with this. I kept somewhat aware of the changes with UCP and decided I would give it a try. I went to one of the wikis and created a new page as a test. When I was ready to save it, I stopped because I couldn't find the Edit Summary box. I thought, "No, nope. If that's missing, I don't want this," because I use the Edit Summary consistently to show why I made a change. All it took was a little more effort to learn it was on a new screen that pops up afterward before you finalize the edit.

Others, like yourself, may start off with doubts but you figure out how to deal with the changes. After all, life is about adaptation.

There's wikis I want to create for two subjects. One has been around for a few years. The other just started this year, but has a connection to another subject by the same person. I waited because I knew the UCP would go through exactly what it has: large changes to what currently is, some initial problems, some features not carrying over, and some features that will be brought in later. I think enough time has passed that the UCP is getting stable enough to use on a regular basis, so I can proceed shortly with creating those wikis.
