Ron Hello Guido: Yep, I’m with you. I’m using the WordPress 2020 theme and dropped in WP Stackable and WP Kadence plugins. Those two, along with the existing blocks in Gutenberg, give me most of the tools I need to build a solid and super-fast website. It’s not perfect, but neither is Elemntor or Divi. The blocks work best with posts, but they are OK with pages, too. I say all this, and I get the frustration and hesitation. I was there in the beginning as well. Then, I read a blog post — may have even been on WP Tavern — and it was clear that WordPress was going to move to blocks regardless of what users wanted. It’s kind of like when you’re a kid and your parents say summer school is a must, you may as well learn and make the most out of it. But just as I eventually mastered algebra — OK, mastered may be a stretch — I’ve learned a lot about Gutenberg/blocks. The best thing? That in a crazy, divided world, most WP users are willing to help each other — and whenever I get stuck, there is always someone to help me out. Patience is definitely a virtue. And with blocks, it’s proven to be true.
