I’ve probably written over 100 posts since upgrading to WordPress 2.5 across my blogs and I can honestly say I’m still not used to it.  I usually adapt very quickly to change, but I’ve already noticed that I often forget to assign the category to my posts because the category panel is out of sight.  I end up having to edit the post after being published to correct these types of things.  I also do not like the way recommended tags now work in this addition, and I want to be able to save and continue editing. 

Other than that, this edition is a huge improvement over the old write panel and makes software like Windows Live Writer less attractive.    How do you like the new WordPress write panel?

Also, if you haven’t made the switch yet, you may want to check out this post written by a guest blogger over at Michael Martine’s blog named Knowing Your Way Around the WordPress Write Panel.   This post was designed to introduce you to everything the new WordPress write panel has to offer, and compares it to where everything was in WordPress 2.3.3 and earlier.
