Poor design, poor interface

  • Why force users to type in a box about 800px wide? Completely useless for those with lots of screen real estate.
    And where is the tool formatting tools and insert link options? I work in code editor and Gutenberg makes posting blogs a lot harder, and instead forces users to use some silly patronizing “block” GUI. I think WP misunderstood their audience with this one – “block” GUI should have been optional and Code Editor should have stayed identical.

  • I agree code editor should have been there!!!

    Also the smaller blocks like the seperator you can’t even select decently. It’s beyond me how that didn’t turn up as a problem while testing blocks.

    The developers behind Gutenberg unfortunately seem to be on a holy crusade to destroy the code editor. In the initial phases until about one year ago everything useful was still there, such as the button to add images and the ability to insert links. The reason they removed them was to encourage users to switch to the Gutenberg visual editor with all those nice blocks.

    A few months ago they also greyed out the button to add blocks in the code editor. A few weeks ago they discussed removing the document outline and block navigation buttons. I guess the next step will be to remove the code editor altogether.

    Seriously, why would anybody want an archaic code editor when you can work with blocks instead!!?
