The new code editor!

I hate it so much, I am not a code editor etc. yet the older one seemed WAY more user friendly than this one for beginners, I just wanted to change my shop cart in code, and then saw the new one, literally have no idea where to look up the stuff that I need.

Is there any way I can change it to the old one?

No, you cannot go back because it’s a shopify update. It may seem intriguing but it actually is somewhat better from the old one.

I disagree. Unless you are a professional dev, the new code editor is far worse. There is only one advantage for merchants for the new editor and that’s search.

For simple edits and adding code snippets, the old editor was far more user friendly for merchants.

IMHO, Shopify should have kept the old editor for general use and add this new editor on as an advanced editor.

Well I am certainly not a professional dev, I put myself somewhere between beginner and medium level where I know things just enough to make it work.

And yes as far as I have used vs code for development the new editor very represents this so may be it is easier for developers than for merchants.
