Not ready yet, but I like it

  • For anyone who tests Gutenberg is obvious that is still required to work a lot on it, it’s far from being ready for all users, but I believe that WordPress is giving decent step forward by developing Gutenberg.

    UX/UI is a mess at this time in my opinion, but the concepts of a new way to build pages is right there, much easier than installing loads of plugins and those shortcodes that messes things up all the time.

    I know that the idea is to keep things clean, however some thin borders around the boxes would help at this beginning.

    I still don’t know how SEO works with Gutenberg, I hope it works well.

    In a nutshell, I see a bright future on it, for now it’s far from being ready to be into WordPress core.

    @lccorrea thanks for testing and giving feedback on the new editing experience. It’s great you see a bright future.

    I would love to dig a little more into what you feel is an issue with the interface right now. Is there anything you got really stuck on or an experience you think gets the balance of simplicity right to learn from?

    I think interface is a bit messy, sometimes is hard to find or select something. If it’s hard for developers, it will be even harder for clients. In my opinion Gutenberg is exaggeratedly clean for a new tool that intends to be into core. For example – When using columns, it’s not that easy to select a particular cell or its elements, the same happens to find those plus icons, move up and move down buttons, settings button and so on.

    Gutenberg has some similarities with Elementor plugin, would probably help if it had similar UX/UI for now (I know it sounds newbie, but majority of people like it), then gradually improving to reach a cleaner interface.

    That’s the cons, but on the other hand, I don’t know why so many people are complaining, because classic editor is outdated, maybe changing is not that easy for everyone. Gutenberg is a move forward, i’m excited about it.
