Why? Because Matt wants it!

  • I have asked everyone I have spoken to about this new editor the same question: Why do you build this? Everyone gives the same reason: because Matt wants it …

    I thought WordPress was a community project, where the community decides together what is best for the project. Now we’re adding this backwards-compatibility-breaking monstrosity, becase one man wants it.

    Stay true to your principles, WordPress. Only then you will remain the greatest blogging platform of all time.

    Firstly, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. It is important though to point out that Gutenberg is a community project and being made as part of WordPress core. Whilst I get you are passionate about this, it’s not just one person deciding and leading this.

    There is backwards compatibility as part of Gutenberg. Metaboxes are an example of this, having a fallback approach where some will just load the classic editor. This isn’t a project that is breaking principles.

    As to the why of Gutenberg, in simple terms this is about creating a better experience for more people using WordPress. As a project it is still being worked on, but at the heart that is the goal. The focus is on usability and really making sure that the problems we have right now – we have them – with the publishing flow, are reduced. That’s staying very true to the principles of WordPress.
