Loving Gutenberg

  • Just unsubscribing from this forum. I’m tired of reading the negative whines of people who clearly don’t know how to manage change.

    Gutenberg is perfect for non-techy users, and requires workflow changes for those who like to control presentation through html. It’s all possible.

    To all the moderators, I admire your patience.

    Bye.

  • It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why the hate. They changed too much too fast. Many users log in to make a change and log out. What they don’t want to do is spend more time trying to figure out where everything went they were using in the previous version. I shouldn’t have to come to the website to figure out something simple which I had been doing for years in previous versions because of ‘change’.

    I think what they should have done is a “grandfathered” system where developers could choose if they want to update existing sites to the Gutenberg editor or not.

    Some people, like myself, have dozens, even hundreds of sites they have developed and maintained with not-so-tech-savvy clients trying to maintain and update content.

    So, my strategy is to use Gutenberg in all new builds so that new clients are accustom to if from the get go. And for existing sites I install the Classic Editor. It really is the most practical and reasonable way to proceed.

    Ideally it would be great if the only thing I had to do in life was deal with the Gutenberg editor, but I have family to care for, bills to pay and clients to please and on and on. The folks at WordPress seem to have been short sited and forgotten people have other things in life to tend to.

    By the way when Gutenberg launched I tried three of the new plugins for it and ALL three failed. I since removed all of them. The issues with these plugins may have been resolved since, but who has time to deal with chasing down issues with every new plugin? Not me.
