not born to be default wordpress editor
-
Hello. Unfortunately, this Gutenberg editor seems not to be born to be an editor. It’s very difficult for it to become one as it grows. Many of my acquaintances and clients are struggling to use it. We try to teach them, but it’s so hard that they give up. That’s why they all feel very happy when they switch back to the classic editor.
Because they are just adding text and images. They still use the classic editor for e-commerce.
For these reasons, Gutenberg will never become the default editor in WordPress.
I have a suggestion to make this work better.
When content is added with Gutenberg, it could initially be a simple WYSIWYG editor, still using Gutenberg. Similar to the comment box we use here. If it had tools for adding images and other Word-like features like bold, italic, image addition… Maybe it could also just be a simple column where text and images can be added. In other words, a default block similar to TinyMCE. Additionally, there could be a button for switching to block mode at the top, which opens the block editor when clicked. If a design is required, this button would be used; otherwise, there could be a simple interface similar to TinyMCE by default… I think if something like this is implemented, many people will start to like the Gutenberg editor.
Good luck!
