Due to YWOT's lack of features, many OWOT users see it as a more handicapped site.

The lack of colored text and SLC(''among many other things'') greatly decrease the scope of art that can be created. Stricter rate-limits also serves to restrict scripting, which is considered to be a major source of creativity in OWOT.

There is also the fact that YWOT simply isn't very well optimized in the current day, and would lag unbearably whenever too many users are online. Indeed, Andrew Badr has largely abandoned his site in the current day and left it to rot, whereas [[Fp|FP]] still maintains OWOT on a regular basis.

OWOT users have noticed, in addition, that scrolling is much slower on YWOT, making for a jankier experience. Many have also reported that they simply missed the presence of colors, and felt that the experience wasn't the same in black and white.
