There are clearly a lot of talking heads in here that know a lot about coding and WordPress.

I wonder, can any one of them point me in the right direction so that I can understand what is being done by the development team to learn about end-user need for, and reaction to, the Gutenberg interface, and its use and application?

I mean ~ specifically and "in detail" ~ and not by just pointing me to a Slack channel or blog article they wrote.

I ask this because I have had the distinct impression from day one that irrespective of whether the WordPress ecosystem liked it, or the end-users wanted it, we are going to get Gutenberg, in one form or another.

Which seems to be much more like the way you would behave if you were the, say, the CEO of a corporation, but not if you were, for example, the trusted head of a community and non-profit.

And in absence of genuine outreach and active end-user inclusion in development would obviously tend to support this view.
