Wordpress 2.7 – they did listen
I haven’t played extensively with Wordpress 2.7 yet, but remember how 2.5 sucked? And we were told we could whine all we wanted but it wouldn’t help? Wordpress 2.7 appears to be a very big improvement which did indeed take into account the issues we were complaining about.
It has automatic updating built in, so you no longer need the wonderful automatic upgrade plugin. The menu that used to be across the top is now on the left sidebar and much more compact, so there’s less mouse movement between clicks (and if you’re using Lighter Admin Menus, you may not feel you need it anymore – in any case, deactivate it before upgrading, or your menu won’t appear, and wait to see if the programmer updates it for 2.7). The admin screens are overall more intuitive, and it feels like everything is loading quickly.
