Mmmm. Why do I keep sensing a terrible amount of BS around this whole topic regarding the current editor and the fact that we need to use a plugin to keep using it when, in fact, a simple filter in the functions.php file of a theme can be used to keep using the current editor?

Classic Editor is actually extant in WP 5 and so therefore by extension the filter to turn on and off the block editor to get to it could be controlled by a switch in te writing settings of WordPress. It’s very frustrating as a user with specific requirements to see how clumsy all this is being implemented. I ultimately would like to use the block editor at some stage down the line when it better fits my workflows, but not yet. Not till it is more useable.

Perhaps somebody from Wordpress could illuminate me as to why it is necessary to have to use a plugin to use the current editor. Why do they feel that they have to be so controlling in how, when and which editor should be used?
