I’ve already read and commented so much about why I’m not upgrading (at least not for a while) that I can’t really be bothered explaining the reasons again. There has been a lot of major WP community people not upgrading and it’s caused a little bit of an uproar.

I don't even see the WYSIWYG as it doesn't work in Opera. =) That said, I think that Wordpress is suffering the same thing than Firefox: Popularity. Developers like that and start adding shiny things just to be even more popular, but most of it is useless fluff.

And whilst some would consider such to be bulk, it doesn't really bother me. It's not perfect and it's not for me, but it's optional so I turn it off. However, whilst I don't care in the least about it, it's not really a compelling reason for me. [...] [...] I can see how this would be useful for many and tinymce is a fine choice.

I also like the new admin screen, though some of the hidden options are annoying (too many clicks to do something now in some cases). I agree about the WYSIWYG - It isn't essencial, and has caused a LOT of problems. However it IS nice to use more most posts - as long as those posts aren't about code, or have lots of images. It also drags the code quality down (align atrributes of imgs? Please.) That minor thing aside - the code has improved a lot, but not visibly much. There are nicer tihngs for plugin authors in there, and it should be more stable, but it's still pretty slow running (especially the goddamn dashboard). Then again WP was never the fastest horse on the track, but it's usually up in the top few. The WYSIWYG can be turned off - it reverts back to the quicktags - but it does seem rather bloated. They guys at TinyMCE have really worked to help that though. I still don't feel its a 2.0 release though, more like a 1.7/8 I’m running 2.0, but mostly because I’m not too bothered.
