In reply to Henry.

And applying UX in its broad sense to include customer support, this hasn’t been great for those with concerns about Gutenberg and there work using WordPress in the future.

Personally I am ambivalent about the new editor. In terms of a stand alone piece of software I would rate it at 2 stars, 3 if tools such as some of the better page builders didn’t exist.

As it is, taking into account that Gutenberg is being introduced in WP 5 as the de-facto default editor and, a lack of acknowledgement that Gutenberg can’t cater as well for all the use cases that the current editor and it’s back end editor can, I can only rate it as 1 star.

I do agree though that determining what the true opinion of Gutenberg is will take a while longer to divine. Ratings and reviews are probably not the best measure that can be relied on at this early stage.
