Except it's nothing like writing normal paragraphs is it. The block controls are continually in the way when trying to do things that are dead easy in text editors. For instance, making a selection covering more than one paragraph, or one paragraph and one sentence out of the next paragraph. And in so far you can make a multi-block selection, it feels sluggish and clumsy. So far Gutenberg has utterly failed in making blocks compliment the writing experience, instead it makes users contort their way of writing to fit the blocks experience. Every hover effect introduces cognitive load that takes away from pure writing. A massive failure of design and user empathy.
