 * Gutenberg completely breaks my established workflow as I can no longer easily
   extract the HTML from my posts without a lot of non-standard code.

 * It think that part was already handled in the support part of Gutenberg with 
   a few suggestions from Marius.
 * Is that the only grievance you have with Gutenberg to give it a 1-star-review,
   or are the other things, that didn’t work for you?

 * Can you please show me where it is dealt with?
 * No. That’s not the only reason for a one star review. I have a number accessibility
   and usability issues with Gutenberg. It breaks a lot of workflow that I’ve evolved
   over many years and makes WordPress harder to use for no apparent gain.
 * One of the great things about WordPress was it’s relative simplicity. That made
   it universal.
 * I’m not against change, but, for now, this seems a huge backward step. For the
   first time I’m looking at non WordPress alternatives.

 * Hi [@billbennett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/billbennett/), It would
   be really really valuable to know the usability and accessibility issues you 
   faced. If you have some spare time to write a little bit about those problems
   here, we would be very grateful for that. Thanks!

 * Hi Andrew,
 * Thanks for responding.
 * I didn’t document the problems the last time I posted.
 * Normally I’d document the problems with my next post. However, I’ve found I can
   workaround Gutenberg, so that’ll do for now.
 * It would help if I could de-gutenberg the handful of posts that use it. Is that
   possible?

 * Had to edit an error on a Gutenberg page just now. Realised one of the usuability
   issues is that toolbar scrolls off the top of the screen. If I select some text,
   then, say, select the Link option from the toolbar, when I scroll back down the
   link box may not appear near the link text. Sometimes it does. Other times it
   doesn’t. Also it can close down without warning before I’ve managed to write 
   my link.
 * The toolbar also seems to disappear without warning.
