In reply to Darren.

This is the most absurd comment when talking about WordPress. A WordPress user – and that's the subject of this post, the user experience – doesn't have to know how to open a GitHub issue or post in a project forum.

The primary objective of Gutenberg, IMHO, is to make it easy for a new user, to bring more users to WordPress, not to attract developers that can test, find and solve bugs.

Honestly, this topic is generating so much polarized opinions that maybe it is time to stop and reflect a little what we want for this project as a community, and not as a support of a commercial service.

It seems that any criticism of Gutenberg is understood as a resistance to change, a reactionary tendency, and not as a genuine concern with what is happening, with the difficulties that we will create to users and ourselves in projects which depend on the current flexibility of WordPress.

This flexibility is called into question by Gutenberg, the current state of Gutenberg, because it does not cover the uses that are given to WordPress and its editor. Metaboxes are a clear example.
