ack! what the heck happened???

am I missing something? the new editor is not intuitive at all. all of my sentences are now double spaced and split into blocks. all of the text editing / formatting tools are hidden. this is horrible. i’m regretting starting a new wordpress site. much less trying to explain to anyone else how to use it… the first rule is always Occam’s Razor, Keep it simple, this is a disaster!
