Why not to Single Powerful Editor?

Is there any limitation for Editor X about Velo and APIs I want to switch to Editor X (I will redesign the same on Editor X) but I have tons of Backend and Frontend codes so I want able to create same things with Editor X

Can you guys tell me if there is a limitations about Editor X (for Velo and APIs)

The element does not enough, so you need to build with custom elements (which is not easy)

Other things still fine

Code speaking both have the same Velo engine, so you’ll see no difference. But as @certified-code said, there are missing element that still need to be supported by editorX:

rich-text input, multi-statebox, custom web component and others probably

I tried to use it to build same things (just design not code) and my choice is normal Editor . Editor X very good about responsive design but:

1- Less element than normal Editor (IMPORTANT)
2- Some Apps doesn’t support Editor X (IMPORTANT)
3- Almost 2x price against normal Editor
4- A little lag in UI (I couldn’t design same thing very easy in Editor X it has lag I don’t know why I’m holding an element but it’s shows it in another place It was hard to design) (IMPORTANT)

(I think there’re already custom elements on Editor X, but I haven’t tried them)

@loeix
The same here!
I see only real advantage of Editor-X in it’s RESPONSIVENESS!
In all other aspects the points goes to → Standard-Editor.

And i also do not understand why wix is generating 2-different editors (still both buggy) instead of rolling-out a perfect combination of both.

Like AyDontLoss already described, working with Editor-X is very tiring/exhausting and even more time-consuming as the working with the STANDARD one.

Adjusting / pinning / docking and do some setup for almost every single element → this is surely not the best solution!

It would be better to give the standard-editor the possibility to make your site some kind responsive, too and the Editor-X can go to → garbadge. :sweat_smile:

I am forced to work on Editor-X and just crash my head against the wal, because there is NO MULTI-STATE-BOX in there. How can this be? How to generate complex menues without the missing element?

Or it was just rolled-out to early, without 100%-functionality. For me → still BETA-VERSION !

Sorry if i am too direct, but feedback is feedback :grin: no matter if it is POSITIVE or NEGATIVE. :roll_eyes:

@russian-dima Not only responsiveness. Also element positions such as “fixed” and “sticky” (there’s no sticky position on the classic editor, and the fixed position - pin-to-screen is limited to desktop view on the classic editor unlike EditorX.

Anyway responsiveness and having a full-width display is not a minor benefit.
Anyone who wants to have a modern design and not an old fashion design (of 5 years ago) will prefer EditorX.

I hope anybody understood me the wrong way. I just wanted to say, that Editor-X is still incomplete.
And yes having responsivness and also the sticky/fixed-functions is important, but the handling is not that good and also not realy userfriendly (attention this is just my own opinion).

But now a question: Is it in the standard-editor completely impossible to generate RESPONSIVNES for elements? I never used custom elements, but i think i should be possible to create own elements which would be RESPONSIVE.

Possible or impossible?

@russian-dima If you code the entire page in a custom element, you can do it responsive. But you’ll lost the benefit of using ready-made elements, and it’ll be mush more difficult than using EditorX which is quite easy once you get used to it.
Even its current status I consider EditorX to better than the classic one due to its critical benefits.

@jonatandor35 Now I have more than 100+ hours on Editor X and I can easily say “Editor X is like Cyberpunk 2077” it’s incomplete yet!

Editor X may be targeting different audiences BUT Editor X or Wix Editor both editor is about creating “Website” so there is actually not much difference between these editors.

I don’t want to use Editor X because it’s really not making sense reasons are:

  1. Hard to use and design.

  2. Less element than normal Editor

  3. 2x Expensive which is not important for me but important for most users.

  4. If I need to code everything with the custom element what’s the point of drag and drop?

  5. Some apps still unavailable in Editor X

Here are the good things that I see on Editor X:

  1. No need to design mobile again like in other Editor

  2. Live collaboration and comment feature

  3. Better Editor UI/UX (there is not so much difference but it’s better xd)

Result:
As a user and a Partner, I would want to see a single Editor with all features. It’s okay to pay more.

Here is the Wix Studio. (Single Powerful Editor)

For Members Only/Private websites the original WIX application had a “Custom Login” feature, this was never available in Editor X, is this feature available again in WIX Studio?
