The reason for Eclipse
I've just spoken to someone and the important reason that the Deviantart Classic has to go and here's what he or she told me.
"Aside from that, if they were to throw away 3 or possibly more years of development and quite a lot of money sank into it, and cancel Eclipse to keep the old version, we would not get any new features, as it has been for years. The site would slowly break, especially on newer devices, as the code is a patchwork of 20 years - already visible in the broken submit to group menus on deviations, several categories no longer being able to be uploaded to, etc. They would continue to go bankrupt, as t

Everything that Happened Outside Your Pen
Whether you have noticed or not
I'm here and want to do a lot

In fact, in many aspects, it outright removes features that were present in the old site, and is overall much more cumbersome to use and browse. Nevermind the fact that Eclipse removes a lot of the quirkiness that the old site had in an attempt to "modernize". I wrote about some of my problems with Eclipse a few weeks ago, but that was made after trying out Eclipse for a few minutes at a time. Therefore, I didn't get the full grasp of what Eclipse will be bringing... and taking away. Now that I've had days to immerse myself in the new site, I must say that that last post doesn't even scratch the surface of Eclipse's
