Don’t Rush It

  • Great work core team!

    Why only 2 stars then? Well, like pretty much everything, it can take a fair few iterations to realise your original intentions.

    I get that the future of the create/edit post screen is a WYSIWYG page builder (which will surely make the customiser completely redundant?) but it looks like it’s going to be tricky business for devs to add/edit blocks as needed, and the subsequent styling and functionality to go with it. If we’re going down the route of a WYSIWYG page builder then great, just bear in mind that every site looks and functions differently so it has be a breeze for devs to do what they need to do.

    Saying to devs ‘go away and learn a whole new way of doing things, ooh, and you’ve got less than a year to do it’ is a bit unnecessary.

    Although Gutenberg has the potential to revolutionise the adding and editing of posts, it’s a seismic departure from what we have atm, and imo, such a change, even if it is for the better, needs to be phased in, rather than slam-dunked.

  • It will definitely take a few iterations. Thanks for noting that.

    While Gutenberg, right now, is just focusing on the page content, there are plans to improve the Customizer with a similar block editing experience. They’ll work together because Gutenberg will edit the content, while the Customizer will edit the page/site. I hope that helps clarify their relationship.

    I don’t think anyone is saying “go away”, but instead “Come learn, contribute, and grow with us.” We are making concerted efforts to include developers and their requests.

    such a change, even if it is for the better, needs to be phased in

    That’s why there’s a beta plugin. ?? Thanks for your interest!
