Tend to agree. This reminds me of the changes microsoft made when they moved from the windows XP/Win7 GUI to the nightmare that became windows 8-10. Someone thought it a ‘good idea’, since doing fancy visuals and an apple look seemed in vogue. But the 99% of existing users all hated and despised it. Still do. For myself, I moved to a Chromebook and never looked back. WordPress should learn from other developers mistakes. Having it as a plugin option makes sense. Pander to the arty types if you have to, but don’t force it down our throats.
Well said… “pander to the arty types if you have to”
Thank you

@bendelaney firstly, thanks for taking the time to review, at this early stage of Gutenberg any feedback is very welcome and listened to. I am interested in if you have time and haven’t, what you think of the latest version. Is it getting closer to what you are looking for?
Your comment about ‘users like you’ also really interest me. Could you tell me a little bit about your use of WP? It’s really important to get all types of users engage and enabled by the experience. So, looking why this isn’t happening is crucial to the progress. Every piece we can fit together of the vast user story of all WP users, gets us to a place where we can craft the experience.
@printnet your point is one that I can see where it comes from, however I would suggest that a lot of experience has gone into the roots of Gutenberg. However, like all WP this is a project that will be finally shaped, decided and evolved through contributions. That’s the big difference in this story right? This is a project where the community (you, everyone) has input and that’s exciting. Thank you for taking time to be a reminder to stay true to feedback in all forms.
