Hey there. Today I wanted to share my thought on why I think Josh Haber is not good as story editor for MLP (or in general as I don't think he did that good of a job in the Skylanders series). Most of us agree that his operated in the S6 as story editor wasn't really that stellar and he really didn't valorize the Mane 6 in most of the season, but I think I know what the real problem is. Let's take Rob Renzetti, Meghan McCarthy, Mitch Larson, Kristine Songco and Joanna Lewis and let's take a look to their past experiences as writers before becoming story editors of MLP:
Renzetti: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0719952/?ref_=nv_sr_1
McCarthy: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2436273/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Larson: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1910191/
Songco and Lewis: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2995437/ (I'm putting only Songco's page because they almost did all their works together so their IMDB pages would be pretty much one the clone of the other).
As you can see, all these people worked for A LOT of serieses in past, and most of the very first ones on which they worked on, weren't that good (althought, Larson and McCarthy wrote a few Foster's home eps as their very first writing works, but whatever). It took very long for them to get where they are now as writers (which feels very natural for humans by the way you know). Now... let's take a look to Haber's past works...

Haber's only past writing experiences before becoming the story editor of MLP S6 were just.... a pair of episodes in a crappy Duel Masters rip-off and the five MLP episodes he wrote in the previous two MLP seasons.... I think THAT'S the problem with Haber: he's unexperienced. The job of the story editor is very delicated as it gives complete freedom to him/her on the handling of the writing of a season, also as Jim Miller said in past, the story editor of as season has the task of HIRING ALL THE WRITERS OF THAT SEASON. It's an harder job than many peope think, and requires a lot of attention, responsability and experience.... that's why Haber is not good at that job: he's pretty much of a newbie in writing, he's not experienced enough to handle the writing of an entire series. At least least this is my point of view on the problem. I just don't understand why Hasbro would have gave the responsability of the head writing of the next season.... what do you think?
