Starterkit Theme Builder replacing Classy

In Drupal 10, the Classy theme has been replaced by the new Starterkit theme builder. The Starterkit theme builder is now the recommended way to create new themes, rather than setting a theme's base theme - a core theme such as Classy. Note that this is specific to creating new themes, and there are no automated tools to convert existing themes to take advantage of Starterkit.

Drupal 10: 10 major new features and improvements

With Drupal 10 we are upgrading from CKEditor 4 to CKEditor 5. While the two versions are mostly very similar, version 5 looks more modern and refined. The interface is simplified and certainly in UX design, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Version 5 does not rely on contextual menus, so it is more compatible with touch devices than version 4.
