Those "features" were never needed though. Depends. I recall the blog function wasn't optimized for Monobook, but that feature was useful on certain sites. The Vsbattles wiki relies on blogs, for example. That said, they weren't exactly very commonly used across the board outside of public messageboards for wikis that didn't use/have them.

The blog sucked in either. You can't directly respond to messages in them. You have to find the comment chain from the very top if it's a large chain then make a comment.

Unfortunately, if they removed Oasis instead of Monobook, a LOT more problems would've been caused then you think: I'm not saying I'm with Oasis, but I'm just saying that there would've been a lot more chaos and a lot more problems being created if Oasis was removed.
 * So much CSS/JS customization would go into a waste. Sure, no customization policy, but the problem is, dozens of minutes to hours were wasted on exclusive customization for Oasis, not to mention that some customizations would actually not be portable for both skins, meaning that in Oasis, the customization is perfect, but it would be completely messed up in Monobook.
 * Some parts of FANDOM would be a lot more inaccessible. Sure, no ads, no TFA, no Fan Feed and no hubs, but look at something like the toolbar. It's an extremely useful feature Monobook doesn't have. However, Monobook could've be re-developed and with the toolbar being included.
 * Only 250-500 people (guessing including you) many prefer Monobook, but there are so much more people who prefer Oasis, and if Oasis got removed instead, there would've been a lot more people complaining about its removal.
 * More wikis and communities would move out from FANDOM. 1 or 2 have done this with Monobook's removal, but imagine with Oasis's removal. Many more communities would've moved out, and in this case, FANDOM would have more outdated and incomplete information, and in this case, no longer being the best wiki farm.

The only reason those people even used Oasis in the first place was because they were newer people who didn't know about the preferences and Monobook. Also the only thing that would matter is that CSS argument.
