Comment:

 Hi @andraganescu thanks for the suggestion! I definitely understand the
 logic in having captions be editable from within the post context, and I'm
 glad to see improvement being made to the editor that makes this much more
 clear. However, there are many contexts where being able to set a default
 caption for an image is useful, so we wouldn't want to remove this feature
 entirely. For example, many organizations add photographer attribution to
 each image in the caption field so that attribute is included no matter
 what page or post that image gets added to.

 I could see us rethinking this in the future during a redesign of the
 media library, but don't think this is something we want to do for now.
