In reply to John.

Could not agree more. It seems to have become a steady stream of “features” & “experiments” which make it difficult to work out what is staying, what might be going what is core – I mean hell what direction are we even going.

In terms of the feature in the article on a wish list of what I’d like to see, this is way, way, way down it, maybe a nice to have [since it already exists in the media library]. Any web designer/developer worth their chops is just not going to use this, but then again it seems to be getting clearer that the Gutenberg project does not really consider the needs of this market as priority.

I keep saying this but, amidst all these new shiny features basic functionally like selecting a certain block such as ‘group’ is still a UX disaster. The project needs to focus on getting the basics right and not a freaking image cropper!
