Thanks for the article. I found it useful.

I write for a living and use a couple of websites to publicise and sell. In the pre-4.9.9 WP I would write in Word, Google Docs or whatever and copy/paste the result. I've not changed that process. I run a website for a small club, and that's now all Gutenberg.

I've used Elementor for some time on my own sites and ran with the beta on localhost, so I suppose it has prepared me for the change, but as a professional writer, the website software is just a tool to use. 5.0.2 is convenient once one gets used to it.

My major criticism is the lack of WYSIWYG, but even that is wearing off, and that's after just a few days. I've been creating and running websites since 1998 and in that time every bit of software I have used, starting with Front Page and ending with Xara, has changed. Moving from one to another was always a bit of a test. Gutenberg has, in comparison, been a breeze. Also, WP is free, unlike the other bits of software I've used.

I might even move from Elementor to all Gutenberg, not through any failure of, or dissatisfaction with, Elementor - far from it, it's brilliant - but because Gutenberg does all I want and, as I say, it is just a tool, a route to what I need.

Thanks for the blog. It's appreciated.
