2.8 will land some time in April. People seem pretty happy with 2.7 so we’re taking time to work on some areas that need extra attention, like widgets.

I’m with you. I don’t understand what was wrong with the old 2.3 way of doing things. It was easier to get an overview of what was where in your sidebars (since I use 2 on my main blog, but would love to have 5 (2 sidebars, 3 widgetized footer areas)).

Great to hear. I’m currently running 2.8 bleeding in a local sandbox and I like what I see and hear about already, especially the improved DB efficiency. Can’t have enough of that. Also looking forward to the overhauled widgets interface as the last “rebuild” unfortunately missed the mark by a long shot (but not every overhaul turns out right despite the best of intentions).
Fine work so far.

I wish Andrew the best of luck revamping the widget management area. I’m predicting a system that is between the one for WordPress 2.3 and the one we currently have. By the way, really liking the syntax highlighter as well as the function lookup in the theme/plugin editors.
