If it ever comes to a decision between going with Elementor on some solo platform/software or staying with WordPress because somehow Gutenburg is now required and in the way, then it's an easy choice: Elementor wins that battle.

Comparing Gutenburg to even the weakest of available page builders, it is years behind and basically useless. I just don't understand how people can actually talk about it like it is in the same space.

I have re-tried Gutenberg every major release, to see if it was better in any way than the classic editor and a good page builder. It has never come close. 7.6 is a lot better than any release before, but at the pace it is getting better it will remain behind tools like Elementor, Brizzy, and Beaver Builder.

I've been using this software since the fork of b2/cafelog happened. I've always loved WordPress, still do. But I absolutely hate the editing experience of Gutenberg.
