I know this won’t go down well but having spent most of my afternoon trying to build a site in Studio, I really, really do not like it. I really hope there are no plans to supersede Editor, otherwise I’d be looking at other platforms to build my sites in. It’s just not sitting well with me.

Same here, it’s just frustrating to use the wix studio editor. Everything is slow and not stable. My biggest pain right now is that the UNDO button don’t t work. I can not imagine that serious agencies will use WIX Studio for work. WIX STUDIO is not ready for production and buggy like WIX Editor and like EDITOR X. It is so frustrating. I have to work with this tools but i will recommended all my customers to use another tool at the next relaunch.

@ed11 There is no need to be sorry! Thank you for sharing! 
We appreciate any and all input. First, don’t worry, Wix Editor is not going anywhere! Keep in mind, you do not have to use the Studio editor if you prefer not to. You can still enjoy all the benefits of the Studio workspace but continue to edit your sites with the classic Wix Editor.
As far as Wix Studio, it can be a big learning curve that may take some time, especially if you’re not used to using Editor X. Have you been able to look at any of the learning resources yet?
There are many resources available (Wix Studio Academy Courses, Wix Studio Webinars, Wix Help Center, and unofficial YouTube how-to videos) as well as communities you can reach out to who are eager to help with any questions (Wix Studio Discord, Wix Partner Facebook, Wix Studio Forum).

@mrs_benedetti I’m sorry to hear the experience has been frustrating. I wanted to check in, are you still having issues with the undo button? Were you able to reach out to customer support regarding the matter? If such issues come up it helps our teams to have record of it and be able to look into it quickly.
Thanks for your response, Pamela, but the fact I can’t even build a basic page without referencing tutorials must say something about the UI. The tool icons are visually vague and overly minimal and I spend most of my time wondering if I’ve made the correct decisions in building a properly functional site.
I’ve just attempted to build an extremely basic brochure site and wasted over an hour trying to understand the various options. Editor is so, so much easier to use, which is why I started using it in the first place.
If I’m struggling I can’t see my clients getting to grips with Studio. It’s way too complicated and unintuitive. It’s definitely not something I can extoll the virtues of when asked to recommend a site building platform that we can share design workflow on. Editor, yes; Studio, no. 
As an interface it took me a while to get used to things, but I am a supporter of Studio, overall.
It is buggy though, there are features that just don’t work as you’d expect, and I agree that it feels like it wasn’t ready for release when it was, and still isn’t in some respects.
My main gripe is that the Blog app still isn’t able to be integrated into a site without significant display issues, which feels like a major oversight. I’ve had assurances that changes are on the way for the blog, but that was months ago and nothing has changed.
IMO Wix need to really up their game and sort out the basics. Instead, all I see is announcements of updates and new releases for features that seem obscure and that I’ll probably never use. I do wonder if they’ve put a lot of their resources into AI related features, something else I’ll rarely use.
So, yes agreed it’s frustrating, but I’m still a supporter, for now at least.

Ah, yes. AI. I’ve been working on a new site today and thought I’d try it out. After running through the prompts and adding as much information as I thought useful, I was delivered the end result and I basically started again and built it from scratch in the way I actually needed it to work! So yes, it’s pretty redundant for my workflow - maybe some will find it useful. It would have been more useful if the teams had spent more time on delivering more custom gallery options, animations and transitions. Y’know, assets I’d actually benefit from using. I wonder who’s being used to consumer test these things and who’s asking for them?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Your honesty is super helpful for us to make Studio even better. You make an interesting point about your clients potentially struggling to take on Studio.
I’ve taken note of your feedback, and I’ll be sure to pass it along to our team. We’re all about making Studio as user-friendly as possible, so your insights are super important to us.
I’d love to hear a little bit more, were there any specific areas or features that were especially challenging when building on Studio? Anything that would make things smoother for you as well as your clients?
Hey! Thank you for your input about the Blog app. I’ve made note of it. Are there other features about the Blog app that you have come across that you feel need improving? I’d love to hear them!
I fed all of my feedback on the blog issues and suggestions directly to the dev team some months ago.
Some of the issues they were aware of, others not. Some bugs were noted and were given a short timescale for a fix. Of these the only change I’ve noticed is swapping out the Twitter bird icon for an X icon in the post template. Other issues, such as full width pages and more control over layout and display were said to be on their way, but as yet…
I’m waiting/hoping to hear about some real changes with the blog, so it works in the truly responsive Studio environment, but my hopes are fading.
Will they all be announced? Will I have re-install the blog to see any changes?
Are there any target delivery dates I can focus on? It just seems like there’s no external commitment to resolve things just the same old Wix blackhole and a vacuum. Last time I looked there was nothing on the roadmap to give me any hope.

The layout seems completely alien to what I’m used to with Editor and there is so much focus on measurements, increments, alignment and fancy animations that it definitely doesn’t seemed aimed at my design demographic, or my clients. My agency’s primary business model is focused on mixed creative media - print, marketing, web, branding, etc. Studio seems focused on a more specialist field.
The joy of Editor is that I can upsell a Wix site to my clients and most are likely to be able to edit it themselves once the site is complete. Every now and then I have to log in to tidy something up or fix something but, overall, they love the flexibility and feel like they’re in control once I’ve handed it over. As a point of reference I surveyed 13 of my clients whom I’ve built sites for over the last few years and not one of them understood Studio or indicated that they’d be happy using it if I were to build in it and hand the project over.
If it’s going to take me hours of tutorials to understand how it works (and I’m not enjoying working in it when I use it anyway), I can’t see how that would bode well for upselling to clients. And I’m not the type of designer that sees that as an opportunity to extract more money out of clients just to service their sites - there’s no fun or creativity in that for me anyway.
If Wix switched to Studio completely I feel this would be a serious commercial problem. I just don’t understand how the team expect the average marketing assistant or small business owner to embrace it. It’s lost the clarity, the ease of use, the simplicity. It’s like a huge attempt to prove the business can compete with more complex platforms rather than offer a true, next-level enhancement to Editor.
