I’ve always had rather low expectations of the Wix Editor and as such I haven’t really been disappointed. After struggling for years with junk like Adobe Muse, Wix was a breath of fresh air. I have launched a number of sites using Wix and while they aren’t ‘great’ they are good enough and my clients were happy.
Editor X should and WILL be brilliant. I absolutely love its usability and I’m impressed by what they are trying to achieve, Its just that some of the basics don’t work properly. There is a slight overselling of Editor X’s capabilities at the moment like you say.
I’m not sure how they decide to prioritise fixing bugs but the fact anchors still don’t work correctly is annoying. I guess if I’m the only person bothered by this, it will be at the bottom of the list…
It could also be that I’m the only person anchors aren’t working for. It seems that some of the bugs are specific to my site and I suspect they are context specific and will be ironed out over time. Editor X is still in Beta after all.
