Roadmap for TYPO3 v14 — the High-Level Objectives and Strategic Goals

Another example: Frontend editing was mentioned here already, the history of that feature is nearly as long as the history of TYPO3 itself (I do not need it, i also do not really prefer it, but I really can understand users who are waiting for that feature for such a long time to be angry").

I too do not need the frontend editing and prefer to use the page or list module. But I am an advanced editor who uses the backend very often.

By contrast, most editors rarely use the backend and thus are better off working on the content of the site with the frontend graphics in front of them. This is because it is less of a mental effort than figuring out what a particular block in the page module corresponds to and how it will come out graphically in the frontend.

Put yourself in the shoes of a person looking for a CMS for his new website. On the one hand he has the TYPO3 page module in front of him, and on the other hand he has an imaginary CMS equal to TYPO3 but with an excellent frontend editing. What will he choose? The former or the latter?
