Please don’t add this to core!

  • It is too complicated! WordPress is so far perfect for beginners … You can just start writing. If you can write a letter with Word, you can also write an article with WordPress. So it should stay, please! Fluid, intuitive work is also important for frequent users… Unfortunately, this does not work out with Gutenberg at all. Someone who needs more advanced layout / page building options can already work very well with ACF or other plugins … As a plugin, Gutenberg may be developed further, but please do not integrate it into the core! I am honestly appalled by these plans, sorry! Please listen to the community, look at the average rating of the plugin, and think about it!
    Yes, I read that I will be able to turn it off and activate the classic editor… But that’s no good option for most developers and agencies! I will have to do this on over 200 clients projects (with custom TinyMCE configuration and ACF)? Who will pay these working hours? The clients, whom I promised a simple and maintenance-friendly CMS?
    Really worried that the whole WordPress Project could go into a completely wrong direction, that could mean the end of its great success story ??

    First, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We right now are going through a lot of testing with users and Gutenberg. This is giving us some real insights into what users of all levels are experiencing. It’s important to do as a project.

    It’s interesting that you say about the current system being perfect for beginners. Is this something you have seen from your clients? Or have you done some testing outside that? I would love to know more about the context. I ask as in testing, the forums and many other resources it has shown time and again that right now the editing experience is very confusing for beginners. It’s also really even more confusing when you add metaboxes into the mix. I’d love to dig more into what is easy that you have discovered. Thanks.
