True. But Exhibition had a very, very fatal flaw.
It was created in, what, 2012? Back then, it seemed like a good idea. And it was. However, it's been overtaken by developments from Fandom's biggest competitor.
Google.
Basically, the way category pages are structured, both classic and exhibition, is that all the tab pages are considered duplicates of the first. And your SEO is punished if you have duplicate pages. Classic has 200 members per tab. Exhibition only 16. Dynamic Categories was specifically set up to counter this issue.
I'm an old fuddy duddy, back when I started we only had one mode and we liked it. So Classic is my go to. However, especially on maintenance tasks, I sometimes switched to exhibition to see the most popular pages left, they obvs needed priority.
