@fvellerts I would claim myself as a really good react developer, since I’m doing it for several years. The same for WordPress. But honestly working with Gutenberg does not feel like working with React. It starts with these nonsense attributes in order to bridge the save and edit methods. It would be much better too simply use normal state without any abstraction layer and then save it to the database. In this case, we would not need to update everything in 3 places. (attributes, edit, save)
Then the core is implemented really poor. Look at those components, that’s far away from clean/sustainable react code…
The whole architecture is just a mess and you never know where to look for what you’re searching. It’s simply not self-explaining and the whole project is super bloated.
So yeah, I agree there are a lot of bad reviews from non-technical people. But that’s just because the User experience is so poor. This doesn’t mean the development experience is better… It’s not!
