 * From a management perspective, it’s high time to fire the managers that are responsible
   for the Gutenberg fiasco.
 * If you don’t listen to the users who spend (waste?) their precious time writing
   you well intended feedback on the forums, look at least at the numbers.
 * Aren’t “300,000+ active installations” of the ‘Disable Gutenberg’ extension by
   far reason enough to admit the failure and go back and save what’s still left
   to save?
 * This is so sad to watch.

 * [@mapk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mapk/) I think WordPress still doesn’t
   understand the actual lesson here. You can’t force users to forget everything
   they learned about (MS Word and similar dominated) content creation over the 
   past 30 years, and expect that everyone just accepts what ‘you’ think is best
   for them.
 * The concept may be better from a technical point of view, but it still doesn’t
   meet users’ expectations. By ignoring the actual customers’ requirements to the
   extent that you’re doing here, WordPress is almost guaranteed to fail. No hack
   fix will change that.
 * Feel free to build a block editor as an optional feature and it ‘may’ get the
   expected user acceptance over a long long period of time if you do everything
   right, but *never* ever push new stuff down users’ throats against their will.
   By your actions you’re opening up a massive market niche that would be easily
   avoidable.
