Hiya,
It’s understandable that new features may have users a bit worried, especially when we roll them out early in such a manner as we did with the new editing experience, where we are actively seeking feedback and help in discovering bugs and edge cases.
I, personally, believe much of the worry stems from this, that we invited users to test a, technically, unfinished product, and when things don’t work the way users expect, they start to worry. Could we have done a better job at educating users on what they are actually embarking on, and how it may affect them and their sites? Certainly, but as they say: Hindsight is 20/20, so we’ll learn from this and do better next time.
We are not deleting posts that are critical of the new editor, on the contrary, we welcome them.
What we do moderate are those derailing other users reviews, those embarking on personal attacks against other community members, and those just out to stir the pot with trolling.
Gutenberg will be in WordPress 5.0, when it is released is not yet known, as we won’t be releasing a new major version of WordPress until Gutenberg is ready, so I wouldn’t worry too much. If you are not sure if you feel ready for it, or want to ensure a controlled rollout at your own pace, the Classic Editor plugin is there for you, and will disable the new editor and retain the classic interface.
Now, because of your last line, you appear to be fishing for reactions, and that’s how inflamed threats start. In light of this I am closing this thread from further replies, you have our response, and if you have constructive feedback on Gutenberg it self, please do share it with us, or provide tickets and input on the projects GitHub page.
