Gutenberg slows the editing/writing of the content process, but it makes building sites faster. These are the trade-offs, WP should not longer be a blogging/publishing platform, but more a building platform. It just changed the targets.

What I think is critical now is to somehow use modes/options to help those people with already established, built sites to have an editor that is fast to type and edit like the Classic one so that the 3-4 step multiclick is again 1 click away like in the Classic Editor. These should be optional or achieved throw modes but it needs to be there.

I am an editor, my site is already built, I don’t need anything else than a traditional editing and publishing. Using blocks to publish with 3-4 step multiclick is slowing my work considerably.

PS. Something do something about the huge latency in Gutenberg, it is unbearable on bigger sites.
