In reply to RT Cunningham.

That's fair, and I use the classic editor for the same reasons. I write in a text editor, paste it into WordPress, then add formatting while I reread and copy edit the content.

But that's me, and I do not expect myself to be the norm. So, I installed Gutenberg on my BBQ team's site a few months back. Just for giggles.

Since then, they made 3 posts using it and nobody mentioned it to me. I checked the posts, they were clean, simple, made use of blocks correctly. And so on.

So, I'm convinced. I think it's a fine thing. I'll probably still never use it, but I'm not the target audience. I can accept that and use an alternative editor that is better suited to me.
