I am not at all opposed to the "eventual" release of Gutenberg - in fact, I rather embrace the change, HOWEVER, it is my strong opinion that it is still not ready for prime time.

Those of us who have embraced the imminent change, pre-prepared for this major change, and are actively planning our approach and implementation strategies realize the potential of the change – while at the same time, we are all blatantly aware of the Gutenberg shortcomings and complexity that it will present us.

Matt (I hope you read this!),
PLEASE do not release this until it is really ready! PLEASE listen to the myriad of designers and developers who are using WordPress to support their clients and their businesses.

I feel we are truly at the mercy of Matt and his 5.0 release team. I would like to be able to believe and trust that the approach to the release of WordPress 5.0 will keep everyone's best interest in mind. Sadly, that does NOT seem to be the case.
