So, So Bad

We’re the better part of a decade into this project and it’s still so bad and so far behind other page builders. They are touting border radius as some new monumental feature. Border radius. In 2025.

The UI/UX is atrocious. Developing for it is a nightmare. It’s a Frankenstein of React, PHP, JS, HTML, etc. Theme.json is half baked and still requires you to use JS and CSS to accomplish things. It’s truly terrible and so sad to see so much time has been spent on it when other areas of the platform are untouched for years now.

The biggest telltale sign that it’s bad is the fact that WooCommerce, an Automattic product, still hasn’t figured out a way use it for their product editor because it’s so bad. So instead you get a completely different interface when you want to edit products.

The best thing for WordPress is to scrap this thing and admit it is a failure. Leave it as an optional plugin for people who want it and let the rest of us move on to something that’s actually good.
