Completely Inappropriate as WordPress’ default editor
-
Gutenberg is a good plugin for some people and I’m glad it exists, but it has absolutely no place as the default post editor for WordPress. Its clunky, confusing modular paragraph style alone is reminiscent of a bad DIY website creator site, and is anything but user-friendly. It has probably already turned hundreds or more people off from WordPress altogether. I use the Classic Editor plugin on every site I administer, but some people probably don’t know about it and have quit in frustration, thinking “This is WordPress?!” I pray that the Classic plugin will continue to work without breaking anything. Although I know there are other text editors beside Gutenberg and Classic, if I were forced to use Gutenberg (like many less-experienced WP users feel they are) I would be outraged and strongly considering other WordPress plugins. I think the majority of WordPress users can agree on a single request: Bring back the Classic Editor as default. Sure, include Gutenberg with new WP installs, even recommend to try it with a notification, but don’t confound inexperienced WP users by making this clunky plugin the default editor. ??
