Hi @workmannen
Everyone has a different workflow, so it’s understandable that Gutenberg doesn’t suit everyone.
One of its main goals is to provide a consistent editing experience across WordPress using blocks that can be reused, rearranged, and customized without relying on shortcodes or custom HTML. It also makes it easier for themes and plugins to integrate with the editor in a standardized way.
If there are specific parts of the editor that slow you down or are difficult to use, sharing those examples may help the community suggest tips or improvements.
If you’re interested in learning more about the Block Editor, the official WordPress documentation is a good place to start:
https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/wordpress-block-editor/
There’s also a collection of tutorials and learning resources available on Learn WordPress:
https://learn.wordpress.org/
With the classic editor, there are no tutorials needed, you learn it in a few minutes and can quickly post what you want. The block editor is cumbersome, slow, invisible and flickering, which creates time thieves. On top of that, it takes a long time to accomplish something which then still looks like it was done in the classic editor.
No, this is not good. The best thing would have been that the editor people use the most should be pre-installed while the one used only by some people with this need would be an add-on.
I don’t understand the block editor in Widget at all.
Incredibly stupid to replace a winning team with something few understand.
I understand your point. The goal of the Block Editor wasn’t just to replace the Classic Editor for writing posts. It was introduced to provide a consistent way to build and edit all parts of a WordPress site—pages, posts, patterns, templates, widgets, and eventually the entire site—using the same editing experience. While it may not suit every workflow, that’s the primary purpose behind its introduction.
If this continues, I’ll move on to something else, just like everyone I know who uses WordPress is thinking about.
