Why Does WordPress Always Break Things That Work When Updating?

Beware: Rant Ahead

Why is it that EVERY time that there is an upgraded version of WordPress they SCREW THINGS UP?

On one of the previous upgrades they took away my Post Preview and now it takes extra clicks to look at a post while in draft mode. Unless you do what I did (which you have to fix with every new version) or get the plugin (which works, but not as well).

The last update I did to v 2.3.1 wasn’t quite as drastic a change (so far) but Now I’m missing the list of my drafts in the Manage/Posts tab. Now, I have to go into WRITE a POST just to see what drafts I have in the wings. What a pain in the ***

If I have a Flat Tire on my car, do I change my oil to fix it? No. But if I forget to put all the lug nuts back on the tire will Fall Off. That is what seems to be happening with WordPress. The tires are all falling off and the car is about to crash.

I have no idea why WordPress keeps doing “ugrades” and keeps breaking the things I like about them in the process. All of this, not to mention hoping that plugins you are using still work.

I’m almost afraid to do the newest update for fear of losing another feature I use and depend on.

Have you found anything else that seems to be missing from WP? Does it get worse with v 2.3.2?
