Even at this stage, I still want to see this Edit Page Replacement scaled down in scope to a just an Editor replacement and for Posts only. That's the only place it belongs for now IMO. Tackle Pages, CPTs and replacing the entire edit page later. The plan seems to still be, slap a Editor label on it anyway even if that's disingenuous to the WP community.

The blog post area really needs what Gutenberg provides and it's also a great place to start the transition to the future of WP. If the project scope changed to this, Gutenberg might finally be perceived (at least by me) as a welcome improvement rather than an unwanted menace. With a little less ambition and more pragmatism the project could be successful instead a disaster.
