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 The Full Site Editor is a big switch that WP has been making for years, but got real intense recently.
I see it as a system for building extremely dynamic sites without code, with a corresponding increase in complexity for authors and developers. CSS and layouts have become way more complicated, and WP has become more complex to match.
It’s a shame so many are alienated from it.
I suggest using the latest default theme (Twenty Twenty-Five) and learning the system.
