Agreed, it's a great editor. The downside of the minimalism is that, when they change the design, it's not obvious when old features are just gone.

The "huge picture header" is a case in point. A few years ago Medium's default design was to have a large picture at the top, with a headline laid out in white text on top of the picture. That design is not possible anymore (I think they removed it because it wasn't mobile-friendly)... But if you took a break from Medium and came back, you'd just be left wondering how to do it.

I remember spending about 30 minutes googling for that option, until I found mention of its deprecation tucked away in a FAQ section at Medium.

I had the same issue. It's odd too, because it's still possible to do that in old posts i.e. they remain unchanged, but new posts are in the new format.
