I just got through writing the following to Chris Lema in response to his post here -- http://chrislema.com/talking-gutenberg-wordpress/

I don't think you are confused at all Chris.

No sir, not one little bit confused.

The people who seem confused to me (and maybe you too) are Matt, Morten, JJJ etc, who keep banging away at this "Its just a new block" message.

Its as if they had a meeting a while back and decided "the truth" was too dangerous to talk about, because we all might panic and jump ship.

The reality is, their lack of candour or lack of comprehension (don't know which), has for the very first time in eight years of building and fixing WordPress sites, made me (for one) go out and look for an alternative.

I hope they take this message on-board and man up to it, tool up for it, and treat us all to a little more of what we've come to expect from them. Not this shambolic stumble into the future, which Gutenberg is becoming.

Thanks, once again, for being the voice of reason.

Terence.

And then what d'ya know, the latest v2.0 Gutenberg pops up with a changelog as long as your arm.

Well done guys and gals. Impressive!
