--- Comment #8 from billinghurst <[email protected]> ---
As a comment mwCustomEditButtons functionality is used at English Wikisource.
And for numbskulls like myself it is far easier to code snippets to implant
code than the alternate means. I repeatedly failed to master
mw.toolbar.addButton, gave up walked away, too much to do, too much to
customise.

The old toolbar allows for easy nulling out of buttons not required, or not
prioritised, and the easy addition of little bits of personal functionality,
and the new toolbar makes these things hard (IMO).  Don't blame us that we find
the older tool to work better; has the requisite functionality, and meets our
simple needs. We are not WP, our requirements are different, our tasks are
different, our namespaces are different.

I am happy to try again to be less stupid to see if I can create a core set of
tools that could be used, and allow users to plug them in as they see fit,
however, it isn't my core skill set. Definitely an area where better guidance
would be of use.

PLUS as the 'new' toolbar is still considered a BETA FEATURE (see preferences),
why would we be expected to move. Stridency against us simple editors seems a
little harsh. Some of us just want to get on with our tasks, and chasing and
understanding the backend changes isn't easy.
