I agree, I wish it was faster as well. But then again replacing nearly 20 years of habits and functionality in core takes time. Realistically, I'd expect at least 18 months until Gutenberg is even capable of matching Elementor, then maybe at least another 12 until the ecosystem around Gutenberg is rich enough to fill in the gaps.

But then again, maybe we don't need the bloat we've gotten used to with page builders and multipurpose themes over the years. From that perspective we'll get there much sooner and have more performant sites to boot!
