Faster, which is nice. Adapting to the new editor is the big change.

We have 4 editors that DO NOT like the new editor change either. I thought there was a way to use the old editor but I guess not.
-
@WLS-ITGuy Yeah I almost want to switch from wordpress because of it. Not sure what I would go to though. Havent had time to look into it.
-
I was really surprised by the editor change too. Dislike it at first, but it works.

There is, of course, and they plaster it all over the site when you upgrade to make sure it is in your face. It is called the Classic Editor Plugin and works great. We have several legacy sites that require it. No reason not to upgrade.

What's wrong with the new one? Works better than the old one. More power, more flexibility, faster and more stable.
If you really hate it just choose to use the old one.
