In reply to Steve Pheriche.

Yes Steve, as you say..."moving sections of text around, copying and pasting text across (and between) paragraphs, or re-arranging and editing an existing large article'...exactly the sort of thing a blogger does in writing every post, and now Gutenberg makes this a huge headache..I simply cannot see, and I've tried, how to insert a picture into a text 'block', then shift it, without stuffing up the whole article . Woe betide you if you accidentally (easily done) move to the new editor from the old (given the constant prompting to do so) because you lose the whole post. My conclusion is that WordPress is abandoning its 'base'—the bloggers—for the more lucrative commercial client like Indigo Mill and Lumina Solar. Those examples use barely any text—let's see a demonstration of how editing upwards of 1000 words (a typical blog post) can be done in Gutenberg!
