It's a sponsored piece so not worth a response, IMHO. But I glad you did as it's beautifully written :)

I'm not a developer but I understand Rinzero's point of view. WordPress is a bit of a Franken-CMS. If Gutenberg is the future... I'm only 75% of my way through my how-the-f***-does-it-work journey. It shouldn't be that hard to figure out (but it's probably me).

Here's the thing. I may never use Gutenberg. There are plenty of other options. Great ones too.

Rinzero says: "To make it do modern things, you need to use so many plugins." But do you really? Of course not. What's often lacking is strategy and best practice, and with WordPress you have a million ways to achieve them.
