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

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.
