Hopefully this is just like the Ubuntu "switch" to avconv instead of ffmpeg. A stupid mistake quickly fixed in the next release. avconv and gnome-text-editor might be "cleaner" and mesh better with modern GNOME's copied Apple design principles but they can't do the same tasks easily so they're not real replacements.
Nothing GNOME has done since 2014 has improved gtk or their desktop environment (except for high dpi support). It's all been downhill.
