Problems with the new WordPress Gutenberg editor

Hi.

I am having problems with the new WordPress Gutenberg editor.

I had a html/ css list on one of the pages on my site. When I was editing the block which it is on, by way of HTML editor, the editor automatically, without my consent, edited the html of the list. Therefore when I finished my editing (which was only really editing the text of a link or two) and went to view the page as normal, the styles of only several of the items on the list had changed. I then went back into HTML editor to change it back to how it was (this horrible Gutenberg editor had actually inserted extra ul and li start and end tags and even blocks of code like this: <li style=”list-style-type: none”>).

I deleted these to try to get my list back to normal and it did it again!!

This is nothing short of evil and is really frustrating. Why make a HTML editor while simultaneously taking away any control a user can have over their HTML code within it??

I know there is a classic editor plug-in and I am afraid I will have to plug that in now so I can actually hope to edit my pages in ways I desire to. Who knows what problems I will run into next, whilst I am doing it? What a horrible waste of time this has been today. Please consider returning to the old editor, WordPress?? I thought the idea of having less plug-ins was more economical and speedy? Ugh!!

Thanks,
