Why did I upgrade to Wordpress 2.5?

Well I thought it would be cool. It’s not!
I watched the video and it looks sweet. Some of the added stuff like the gallery is very nice, Although I have to figure out how to get the thumbs  adjusted so portrait pictures don’t get chopped off at the top and bottom. Other than that it’s pretty cool. My one question is… What the hell did they do to the admin pages?

It’s nice but completely different.  Everything is moved around, renamed and just weird. They removed all of the page, post and category ID’s? All I can say is…WTF?
Someone has already written a plugin to help but category ID’s aren’t shown yet. But knowing how many plugins are out there that require a specific ID in order to function, I can’t imagine what made them think it would be a good idea to leave them out.

I’m sure I’ll grow to love it eventually but I personally this change was too drastic. Fortunately all of my plugins still seem to be functional, but  I’ll be waiting  to upgrade any of my other sites until I get used to it.
