Righting the Gutenberg wrong!

  • From the minute I saw the Gutenberg editor I knew this was a SERIOUS mistake. Any software that is created/developed for use by end-users should have the demands and needs of these users at heart. The introduction of the Gutenberg editor showed the existence of an ulterior motive and/or agenda. Whoever of whatever the Gutenberg editor is meant for, it is not represented by the majority of the WordPress users. Fortunately, Jeff Starr comes to the rescue and rights a big wrong. Thanks a million, Jeff!

  • I fully agree with you. There is something very off about the “Gutenberg” block editor. I thought about them having an ulterior motive multiple times, but I am not sure what that would be for now.

    It’s very badly made. The whole edit page that was so familiar is now a mess, all sections glued together, everything white with no clear separation, most things are hidden until you hover (try to guess where you need to hover.. very negative user experience), it takes time to load categories or any section that you expand. You can’t move sections, the title and permalink are not in the same spot, etc.

    Classic Editor is what WordPress was/is about, and the ability to use any page builder in there. The block editor should have been a new tab to the right of the “Visual” and “Text” tabs, and not a horrendous new, completely redesigned edit page.

    We never use the block editor and most probably won’t.
