Just a thought on the numbers of people downloading Gutenberg and the Classic Editor.

I've downloaded both. On three sites and a test site I'm using to learn more about setting up a WordPress Network site. I'm going to (eventually) try them both, see which works best under which conditions and then decide.

So the numbers aren't remotely an indication of the popularity of one over the other.

Sorry if that opinion isn't controversial for some of you ;-)
