In reply to Nick.

Gutenberg is still in its infancy and I think its unfair to call it a disaster that's failing miserably. Development is happening at a rapid pace and we're getting to see it come together one version at a time. Of course it's not ready for prime-time yet.

Timing isn't the only reason people dislike Gutenberg, but it's an issue the TinyMCE folks picked up on as a possible reason for many people feeling the way they do about the editor. It's something that will be refined and create a better user experience.

Not everyone will be happy once the timing of UI elements is addressed and Medium isn't going anywhere. Gutenberg could be perfect and not everyone would be happy simply because it's different than what people are used too.
