    When adding UI elements, standard Text is now moved to Legacy and given a name "Text (Legacy)"

    TMP doesn't support some features that standard Text does, what will happen to standard Text in the future?

    You should ask TMP/Text questions on the UI forum, it's not a 2D feature nor are any of the UI features.

    I'll move your post.

    If i were to guess, much like many legacy components, it will remain in there for a long long while yet.
