Slow, unintuitive, not user-friendly.

Using Gutenberg slows me down. More clicks to find/do things. Have to come up with shortcuts to do the things you could speedily do before on the old editor. I feel Gutenberg is a narrow-minded approach to post-editing simply because I don’t think WordPress appreciated all the different ways people were using the old editor. I feel they had a single vision, went for a minimalistic design, but practically made editing posts harder for users like me. I care about how my posts look when they’re published, not how they look when I’m editing them – when I’m editing them I want varied and easy customisation. Moreover, I dislike how it’s more and more being forced on users and how we have to download a plugin to disable it. Like many others, I don’t like using too many plugins on my site. I use the Code Editor a lot and on Guternberg I have to do finger gymnastics to open up the Code Editor with the keyboard shortcut and it always opens me right at the top of the post so I lose my place everytime. Previewing posts takes longer on Gutenberg too. You can’t open up other WordPress menu items on Guternberg too (you have to open a new tab in your browser to find them again.) The more preference I see being given to Guternberg the more I start pondering about leaving WordPress altogether. Editing posts on a regular text editor would be faster than this. I appreciate the WordPress team’s vision behind this, and I appreciate they’re working hard on it. But right now at least for a user like me, it’s not a good experience.
