# Poor custom fields implementation

 * I’ve been using WordPress for years in a way that has nothing to do with posts
   and blogs in a traditional sense, and a glorified page builder is not what my
   client base needs or wants.
 * Gutenberg is a great upgrade for the `post_content` field but Gutenberg will 
   not replace ACF fields such as Date Picker, Repeater, Relationship, Post Object,
   Select, etc.
    And the Gutenberg editor should not take over the entire edit screen.
 * Current implementation of custom fields appears to be an afterthought and that
   needs to be fixed.

 * [Gutenberg Custom Fields](https://en-au.wordpress.org/plugins/gutenberg-custom-fields/),
   being developed by one of the key Gutenberg team members, may interest you.
 * It still early days for this plugin, but I believe it’s seeking to explore how
   custom fields could operate in JS React environment.
