True. And in light of that fact that this was the intention, in the face of criticisms at what Gutenberg lacks compared to the current editor and all the the bugs extant, you would wonder.

I keep returning to test Gutenberg on each new release and all I see is the same bugs/bad implementation. Two things. Terrible buggy implementation of metaboxes and whether you can arrange them below the content or in the sidebar. If one or the other areas are empty, you can’t move a box to those empty locations, no way José. And, if you load the editor and then attempt to leave, having not made any changes, you are asked to update.

Other than that revisiting Gutenberg with updates has the sense of rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.

Gutenberg, some nice ideas, looks nice, but underneath very clunky, clumsy and badly implemented...not very useful. To boot, wildly surpassed by many, many page builders already on the market.
