In reply to Chad.

Oh, yeah, I definitely understand. I disagree on it being not ready for novices (at least as a general statement) simply based on my experience with such people on the block editor. But, everyone is different, and different things click for them. I've had people who could not figure out how to do even the most basic tasks in the classic editor who picked up the block editor without a hitch. And, I've seen the opposite. I'm not hands on with clients these days though. I just help manage some friend/family sites, but I've had to "fix" far fewer things that they've broken in the last couple of years.

Negative feedback/criticism is good too as long as it's constructive, so it's definitely welcome here in the comments.

I do like how block themes are being rolled out though. By making the feature opt-in (you have to explicitly activate a block theme to enable site editing and global styles) and giving it time to mature more naturally, it should make for a far better transition than when everyone was just suddenly introduced to the block-based content editor after updating.
