Don’t do drugs and develop plugins at the same time

  • I don’t know why this was developed. I don’t know which blind and deaf person that was put in charge of quality control.
    But I do know that this is by far the worst piece of s**** plugin ever created.

    Yes, I’m mad. No this is not very constructive criticism.
    But if you, developer of Gutenberg, want a serious review I suggest you stop doing drugs while working and listen to the users…

  • Depends which drugs as caffeine can be helpful, though agree with the sentiments. This plugin and the infiltration of it into the core WP codebase is a total disaster for users and developers alike.

    Hey, @sorenj911. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

    It is true that there is a lot of room for improvement and I totally get the frustration but resorting to this kind of language is not going to take us very far :/

    Can I ask you to share something a little bit more specific? What is the most frustrating part of working with Gutenberg? What features do you think should be introduced (or removed!) to make it more useful? What changes could lead to wider adoption?

    Thanks again for the feedback ??

    It’s frustrating to see the UI itself when making posts. You see, some of us use WP as a blog and the point of WP should be to make writing easy. Try writing an article of 100 lines of text in a traditional editor and then in Gutenberg. And turn on the stopwatch each time. Banal operations that take seconds in a classic editor will be extended to minutes. And to use the classic editor, I have to install another plugin in WP…

    I see more sense in creating static pages, but even then you have to break the basic rule of WP – minimum plugins. To make Gutenberg usable for creating static pages, I need to install at least 5 plugins…

    And widgets? That’s a disaster. Why change something functional and simple to the opposite. The hands of the author of the “Classic Widgets” plugin deserve to be gilded.

    It would be nice if the developers would listen to the users, engage their brains and finally compromise. WP should include an editor option. And let it be up to everyone what they choose.

    You raise a lot of valid points @vasikkb, thank you. I would encourage you to write a separate review, the title in this one is not too informative or constructive ??

    Banal operations that take seconds in a classic editor will be extended to minutes.

    Could you share some examples of this?

    Thanks again!
