That sounds awful, sorry to hear. Is there anything top of mind that you’d like to see improved?

Sorry to hear that. Care to expand on what feels complicated for your clients? That kind of feedback can help a lot.

The classic editor still powers post types that don’t support REST, and you can also use it as a block — search for “classic” in the block inserter.

Appreciate the feedback, thanks!

Thanks for giving it another go and sorry for the troubles. There’s constant improvements done to usability but I’m curious what do you find most frustrating?

What would you say is the problem for older sites?

If you can mention some they can be fixed!

kudo’s for making a block editor without drag/drop :’)

But it does have drag and drop!

Glad to hear! That’s what that block is there for ??

Thanks for the feedback and glad it works great for you!

where is normal classic “Drug & Drop”, why I need to click arrows to move block up or bottom?

Arrows are a usability and accessibility affordance since not everyone can operate drag and drop, apart from not really being possible on mobile web.

There’s a drag handle on the block toolbar, though, for you to do so. You’d also soon be able to drag blocks directly in the list view for quick reordering.

Thanks for the feedback. What parts of the UI give you the most trouble?

What would you say is the major slowdown for experienced users? There’s a lot of advanced shortcuts, like the / command for power users to achieve things faster than before.

There’s a lot of hidden functionality in WordPress that the block editor aims to bring to light. For example, many users had no idea that you could embed YouTube videos in WordPress. The block inserter exposes it and makes it available for searching. Keeping complexity at bay while also surfacing functionality is a constant balance.

Thanks for keeping an open mind and for the suggestion. Consistent spacing tools is an active project that hopefully makes it into 5.9.

Sorry about that. The plugin is there to beta test upcoming new features, and if you are running the latest there should be no conflict with WP core.
