Why do people make changes for the sake of making a change? When the widget section is perfect and liked by millions, why do you need to change it? After seeing the new CRAP widget section, I thought my website got hacked or there is some severe error. WE DONT NEED THE NEW WIDGET BLOCKS. PLEASE PLEASE REMOVE IT AND RESTORE THE OLDER ONE I.E CLASSIC WIDGET. GOD WILL BLESS YOU ALL THE TIME Thanks

WTF is going on with you people? Why are you forcing us to use those useless blocks? I don’t want them, not in my editor nor in my widgets. No where. Go. Away. Holy crap. It’s getting worse and worse. (Yes, this comment is placed in Support too. It's a cry for help)
