2.5 is starting to piss me off

I found this article today:
http://performancing.com/wordpress/w...-wordpress-2-5
and I couldn't help but agree with a heap of it.

Some of the changes in 2.5 are pissing me off.

One of the frustrating things is I used to save drafts of half-written posts or interesting ideas and they were accessable from the top of the write page. Now they're in a separate "drafts" area and, to make matters worse, stupid Wordpress is KEEPING the temporary saves of posts that have already been published. So I've now got a folder of 45 drafts and growing.

Worse still, when I try to bulk delete them I get some kind of error so I'm stuck with them.

I've also lost 5 existing pages - the new thing won't recognise them or make links to them, even though the pages are still sitting there.

I hate that the page preview is no longer down the bottom of the post.

I hate that the categories aren't down the side anymore. I actually forgot to add them to a post because of this.

Just had to rant. I can't really go back to an older version because of security issues.
