WordPress 2.8 was released a few days ago, and being the nerd I am, I was one of the first 100 downloaders (at the time of this writing, there have been over 450,000 downloads). Unfortunately, I’m not very pleased with this release.

Right off the bat, the TinyMCE interface was broken, so I just opted to use a pure HTML interface. I was having trouble dragging widgets from the available list to the sidebar. Now I’m using the “accessibility” mode. Deactivating the new script concatenation function nor resetting my web browsers of choice (Safari, Chrome, Opera, and Firefox) had any effect on resolving the aforementioned problems.

I’ve read through the list of bug fixes and new features incorporated into WordPress 2.8′s core, yet have had more problems than I ever did with WP 2.7. Why can’t the developers finally make people like me happy by having a native XCache/eAccelerator function built into the core? Oh well, here’s hoping I don’t run into other issues.
