They had better keep support beyond 2022…

It is sad that this plugin has become a necessity for any WordPress site admin and content creator. I gave gutenberg a fair shake, and have to say it is a complete and abysmal failure in the WP universe. Why they pushed this horrible UI on end users makes me think they are in this for their own amusement. They risk alienating their long-time users with this garbage.

This plugin works, and as I said, a necessity. The day it is no longer supported is the day many of us will leave WordPress. This organization seriously needs to rethink this mess they are forcing on everyone. A block-based editor is something a desktop publisher uses, not a content author. I compare it to using Microsoft Word vs. Microsoft Publisher–both are good tools, but one is not a substitute for the other. I could never create long-form content in Publisher, just as I can’t in this gutenberg mess. WP is completely out of touch with who their user base actually is. No, it isn’t the tweaky developer and coder types who apparently like this garbage. It’s those who write for a living and do not want the distraction of these insipid blocks.

This plugin for now is the only way to keep some sanity. And it works as expected.
