In reply to Sarah Gooding.

100% agree with what Otto said. This idea of fading everything out is terrible. Page elements fading in and out will only make them more distracting. I've never even heard of one person who actually uses the existing 'Distraction Free' mode.

What's distracting at the moment is that every single paragraph ends up as a new block. That's what makes the current writing/editing experience in Gutenberg horrible. It should be up to the end user to decide when they want to add a new block. Not something that's forced upon us, just because we want to create a new paragraph. Having to copy content from two dozen different blocks is considerably more time consuming and annoying than copying/pasting content within the same block.

I would love to see the Paragraph block either accept multiple paragraphs, or removed altogether so there's only the Classic Block. I absolutely dread having to edit a page with 40 or 50 different blocks. Gutenberg is going to make editing text heavy content an absolute nightmare.
