It takes time to get used to, but it’s a powerful editor
-
When I originally reviewed this editor I gave it 1 star. Months later I changed my review to 3 stars and now I’m going to 4 stars.
In the beginning there were too many bugs and it wasn’t integrated enough. It truly was a 1 star editor when Automattic decided to ship it with whatever version that was that this first appeared in core. I still believe it needed more time.
In fact, it shouldn’t have been included in core until around now. The gun was jumped.
Now that I’ve had time to enjoy full block themes with the full site editor, and now that there are many add on blocks out there, it’s nice. It makes creating a new page with multiple columns very easy. Or, as a great example, I found a contact form block. I’ve never been able to add a contact form that quickly.
Overall, once you learn where everything is, it’s very powerful and fun to use. Most of the time.
There are still quirks. One is that depending on the height of a block, number of columns, and alignments, you might click forever trying to select one column and never succeed. Unless you revert changes and try again.
But, when it works, it’s a better editor than the classic TinyMCE editor.
Now I don’t want it to go away. I just want it to continue to improve.
