In reply to Tro.

I totally agree. The Customizer is a much better experience for managing the design of your WordPress site.

Design and content writing should be separate experiences. Instead, Gutenberg tries to combine both the design and content creation process together. That would be great if all writers were designers, and all designers were writers. However, that isn't the case. As a result, Gutenberg has just made the writing experience more frustrating for writers, and the design experience more frustrating for designers.

I want to like Gutenberg and blocks. In fact, I've already contributed multiple blocks and Gutenberg tools to the WP.org plugin directory. However, working with blocks in the Gutenberg editor on a daily basis is a frustrating experience. God forbid you have an image block, nested inside a column block, nested inside a cover block. It's a nightmare trying to select and edit the right block...

The WordPress team should vastly improve the Gutenberg experience before they even think about drastically changing the way themes are made.
