The real world WordPress editor

Working for an agency with real world customers this Plugin is currently the only thing keeping us using WordPress while we wait and hope that 1) the developers will come to their senses and realise it needs to stay, or 2) we can find a decent alternative to WordPress.

It still baffles me how such a large team at WordPress can be so clueless as to how the vast majority of small business users the world over don’t have either the time or skills to use a block editor. They simply want (what a CMS was originally intended for) to edit the content on their site – that is the text, images, media etc… NOT make direct changes to to overall designand strcuture of the site every time they edit content, with the potential to break the overall presentation and take up far more time than necessary.

Why oh why can’t WordPress adopt some altenative modes for editing content, either site-wide or as user permissions i.e. give some users a full block editor, but give other users simply the classic editor style for simple editing of content? Why force Gutenberg on everyone when clearly vast number of users don’t want it. Again, totally baffling.
