In reply to Jason Bahl.

@Jason Bahl. I agree with your assessment. Build in server side editors are much more trust worthy. With JS being having the potential to break fairly easily (which I ran into with the Gutenberg demo site), that using a JS only editor could pose some potential issues.
I also have some pretty significant issues with theme builders like Divi, Fusion, X, etc. that completely replace the WordPress content editing experience. I know a tremendous amount of work has been added to these theme/site builders, but for me, they are hard to manage, sometimes hard to update, and potentially encourages bad layout practices.
At that point, are you truely using WordPress or just using it as a proxy instead of building your own CMS.
