Today I was faced with a new theme editor that is much slower and harder to read than the original, it also doesn’t give you warnings for unclosed “body” and “html” tags.
Is there anyway to revert to the old version?
Here is what it looks like:

The new version was previously opt-in and could be enabled by adding ?vs=1 to the URL. Try adding ?vs=0 to your URL instead - this might revert you back to the old editor.

Hey folks - Adding ?vs=0 to the URL does not seem to work, checking internally if it’s possible to re-activate the previous version.

Merchants are complaining on the regular forums too.
Slower is putting it lightly it’s a MAGNITUDE of difference in poor performance.
The good editor loaded in seconds.
VScode is an entire developers IDE that’s so bloat it can take MINUTES to load.
3x in boot time, load size, and memory usage.
Not everyone is running around with souped up hardware.
and that’s not counting virtual environs requirements going up.
When you want to make even the most minor edit online there is now A BOOT TIME.
And then’s there is all the bugs.
Try editing a file on small screens / mobile that’s just ONE problem of many Many MANY MANY problems with this.
We are NOT getting a reasonable replacement here.
But more importantly merchants are the ones getting a really unreasonable replacement.
Merchants/staff non-dev non-techies shouldn’t be forced to use complex developers IDE’s just because developers are used to self inflicted growing complexity and so therefore think EVERYONE else should be subject to the same experience and should just get used to it.
What’s next if a merchant want’s to crop an image there gonna be forced to bootup photoshop because the art teams are used to that tool??
