That’s not the way any more. It’s now complex, multi layered, time consuming, baffling, often changing methodologies from week to week. It’s like building on a flood plain.

Exactly this.

I am pointing this out as a dangerous problem since first dev stages of Gutenberg but was always ridiculed, being told I would step in front of a train, be censored or not been allowed in comment areas, voted down into oblivion at reddit, etc. by people who obviously did not understand what the USP of WordPress was: Simplicity.

More and more devs are leaving the WordPress ecosystem due to lost simplicity, some already sold out their million-use plugins, others are looking for buyers at the moment, that's the huge elephant in the room which should be addressed by Tara and her team, good luck with that!
