Gutenberg is everything I hate about the Internet.

The stupid pop-ups pop up and block what I’m writing constantly. It’s particularly annoying as you can’t always find that little + thing that lets you add another block so you have to hover and click around like a crazy person figuring out where to add a stupid block–boy were things terrible when you just typed and typed without interruption, just copy and pasting image links and properties quickly and efficently? Total chaos Or just making a list on your own? End of times, end of times!–and half the time you accidentally click something and change it but there’s no way of knowing because the stupid pop-up blocks it.

I’ve used it for months because I’m too lazy to learn a new system so you got me by the balls, but it just gets worse and worse and more and more annoying! I used to love WordPress and recommend it to everyone. Now I never do. It’s WAY TOO HARD to use now.

And warn people before you change things. That full screen mode freaked me out. I thought my menu disappeared. I’ve been opening a new window and typing the dashboard address again to get to my menu. Never occurred to me to click those three little dots at the top and check if maybe there was some setting in there.

And things jump and move around all the time. Every time you click on anything, you have to wait for everything to stop moving or you risk clicking on the wrong thing!

I am DYING for someone to tell me what specific concrete problem was raised with the old editor that this is supposed to solve.

UPDATE: I tried using it for a while and it is terrible and it’s just gotten worse. So many mouseclicks to do the simplest things. It may be great for people who know exactly what they want everything to look like from the very beginning down to whether your links are no-follow and which text will be bolded. But if you work on the fly or god forbid make a mistake and want to change things, it’s awful!!!

And what the hell is up with the CSS code in the code editors? Why isn’t it normal CSS? Why are there all those “” and {}???
