My mom asked me to help her with a problem with her WordPress (.com) site, and oh boy. It's been a while since I've seen a UI that frustrating. The new theme editor is a sluggish nightmare. It took me by surprise too, was originally trying to troubleshoot an issue with her original theme, switched to another, suddenly the theme editor is completely different, previous theme nowhere to be found.

@Gargron@mastodon.social sounds like you might have installed a theme with its own editor. I hate those (elementor/divi/etc), the default Wordpress one is fine and good for developers, but those third party ones try to upsell and ruin the whole ecosystem.
Wordpress dot com also has its own host of issues as it relates to the open source (and wonderful imo) Wordpress dot org. Not to mention Mullenweg’s foray into madness these past years.
