Edit: I will continue to update this post as I find issues

I am having all kinds of problems.

• I just tried updating the very popular Python uniq(sequence) post, only to find out that the Wordpress editor is stripping whitespace from the preformatted text. GENIUS GUYS. Really. Great way to COMPLETELY KILL THE POINT OF PREFORMATTED TEXT.
• Not only that, but the link button isn’t working. So I’m having to go through and hand edit the html to include the links which is like O(6n) instead of O(n) like through the visual editor. This means fewer posts because it takes more time, and lower quality linkage when I do write. (this happens sporadically)
• Oh, and the “quote” button that forms the blockquote is also randomly erasing text.
• There is no longer an “unquote” button, (un)indent no longer uses blockquote tags. So now, if you are dealing with a post with multiple levels of quoting, you have to edit blockquote tags yourself, because the guessing mechanism employed as to whether you want to quote/unquote some text assumes you want only one layer of quoting and completely mangles the nested blockquotes.
• Attach a file? How do I do that? I see add media (as opposed to image, video, or audio), but frankly, I don’t consider a text file ‘media.’ It’s a damn file. This is not 1999, and everything is not multimedia. Why is this not labeled properly.
• The full screen editor is (kind of) nice, but there is no access to the html editor.
• Not to mention that a ton of information that used to be all on the screen at once glance requires a ton of scrolling, along with useless information presented while writing. I am not manging my comments, posts, etc. while writing, TYVM. I am thinking about what categories and tags I should be filing this under though. But since those are no longer readily accessible without scrolling, I have to do that afterward.

The one major improvement is that entering tags has an autofill feature for previously existing tags. Of course, they weren’t smart enough to be able to use their own tag separator to autofill multiple tags at a time. And still no postgres support.
