I agree. Gutenberg can be cumbersome for writing. You can use the Disable Gutenberg plugin to disable the Gutenberg editor selectively. For example, you can disable it only on posts, which would prioritize simplicity over block arrangement.

Alternately, you can just use the Classic Editor block for posts. But I'd just install Disable Gutenberg and set it so that posts use the Classic Editor and pages use Gutenberg.
