@Nyssa Actually, the classic editor is not forever (as many wish it were). Last year Matt said “….for now” which means it’s temporary.

Even if you get to keep using the editor for years to come, the problem is going to be themes and plugins because developers now have to create them for both editors (Gutenberg and Classic). This means having to develop two versions (hopefully this is exaggerated) of everything. But basically as WordPress digs deeper into Gutenberg, there will be plugins and themes that are either built:

1. only for the classic editor environment
2. only for the Gutenberg environment
3. or, for both, either separately or together as one.

Further plans for Gutenberg is to eventually include more structural elements such as your header, footer, and widgets. Widgets are on their way out as well.
