Yay!

I’m excited I found this. I’m a new user to WordPress, and have learned a little bit more code in the week I’ve been using it (I knew some HTML from working on random websites when I was younger).

My first experience with Gutenberg was terrible. Very slow content writing (10 seconds for one character), Code option hidden, clunky blocks (cool that they can move around, but even that is a little buggy), content disappearing randomly while editing, constant auto-saves which bogged down the already snail-paced speed of writing. I liked how another reviewer of Gutenberg put it: we don’t know what we want to do with our post. Gutenberg knows, though. “Apparently”.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU for this plugin. I don’t want to have to go through a headache once Gutenberg becomes fully active. At first, I had hopes that it was worse and that over the time it’s been worked on, it’s gotten better … but I don’t see that as being the case. It seems people still find it just as hard to work with as when it first came out…

I thought Gutenberg was supposed to appeal to new users like me? Hmm… Maybe not. But I’ll tell you what, if it was the first editor I saw when signing up, I would’ve jettisoned out of there to a competitor. Thank goodness for the Classic editor.
