I love the way the Gutenberg team seems to think they know better than all the designers and developers at Google, Microsoft, TinyMCE, etc. that have already created very successful content editors. It's funny, the first thing I thought of when I saw the toolbar fixed to the top of the Gutenberg editor is how it's beginning to look more like TinyMCE. Keep going guys, and soon you'll be back to what we have already.

And I agree with those that have a beef with distraction-free mode. I don't think this is a real problem. In fact it feels like a solution in search of a problem. Plus, that faded out idea is nonsense. If you're typing and then want to read something you wrote already, having to fixate at faded out text is terrible UI and very irritating.
