In reply to PeterV.

I have exactly the same feelings about this.

When at launch "Gutenberg" is not ready for primetime I assume that we'll see a further rise of page builders.

I am currently very happy with Elementor. I would not need something like Gutenberg at the moment. The regular "simple" Editor plus something like Elementor (which is optional of course) is perfectly fine and totally enough.

To have Gutenberg the breakthrough thing, Matt & some others are hoping, would mean it's superfast like "boom!", it's fully visual (on the frontend also!) and it respects the existing plugins. All of this I cannot see at the moment, and cannot imagine how a launch with 5.0 should happen at all (given, that WP 5.0 will be in a few months already...).

And the last thing is the name, "Gutenberg". This name stands for the revolution of printing books. I cannot see the WP's "Gutenberg" be the same thing for WP (yet).

Sad but true.
