 * I am getting really annoyed at a coding bug in WP 2.5. If you place an image 
   or some other object in your post and center it, all the text following automatically
   adds an align left html command which triggers validation errors. What that means
   is that every time I center something I have to go back through 2.5 and clean
   up the code. NOT FUN.
 * No other version of WP had this bug. Please fix it or this user will downgrade
   back to 2.3 (which I may do anyway as the new “look” full of problems). I violated
   an old rule when I upgraded to 2.5 which was not to ever use a new version of
   anything until the bugs are worked out. With 2.5 that will take some time since
   this version is a mess. The list of problems I have with it agrees with others
   already posted so I won’t repeat those other than to add you have another long-
   time user who thinks this version has too many problems.
 * An easy solution–throw out the bad 2.5 code and put back in the 2.3 code. I also
   agree with users that the drastic changes require naming it 3.0.
 * In short, you violated a major caveat for coders–ask your users before gutting
   a program to the extent you did in 2.5.

 * Do what I do… don’t use the tinyMCE / visual editor. Not only does it add unwanted
   tags at times, but it also double encodes (UTF-8) your posts in a manner that
   can screw up feed readers (as the feed output encodes in UTF-8 as well, effectively
   DOUBLE encoding posts.

 * I know I will be spending the evening going back to 2.3 on all my sites. Man 
   did I make a mistake on updating to this version. It is ugly and does not work.
 * Bad job guys 🙁
