Yes, and here have been multiple comments on various user pages that WP people are finding that they need to concentrate on either process or editing. To some extent this is inevitable--there has always been a separation between writing (=WP editing), true editing (=WP revising, often done separately from writing the main text), and publishing (=WP process). In WP and in the Real World, many authors eventually become editors, and then engage in quality-control functions. Perhaps we expect too much.

I prefer to write that way too, but it isn't safe now. There are a few editors running amuck with speedys on new stubs. Any editor can place a speedy. It takes an admin to actually delete it, but they do delete it if you haven't contested it with a hangon tag. You may have less than an hour, depending how busy things are. If you start a new article, stay and watch it.
Sometimes it comes to that, but it's an unhealthy environment when you keep having to watch out for who's ciming up behind you with a knife, or you need to spend your time defending your edits. That seriously cuts down the time you have to do constructive things.
