Almost perfect.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-idea-almost-perfect/)󠁿 [UomoMacchina](https://profiles.wordpress.org/uomomacchina/) May 19, 2020 This Plugin saved my life! It does exactly what I need. I can’t believe it still has very few installations and I’m the first to write a review! The features of this plugin should be integrated into Wordpress natively! A suggestion to improve the Plugin: it could be useful to let Admins set the Default Editor per user role or per single user, and also set if a role/single user can choose or not its preferred editor. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/630a7df8f6a391514d7fec195af5886f53a0ff59f376003cf656492986934995? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Classic Editor](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/classic-editor-9/)󠁿 [devfelixmoira](https://profiles.wordpress.org/devfelixmoira/) February 25, 2020 We are happy to introduce our new Classic Editor plugin.
