Hi Matt,

While I have you there, when will WooCommerce go to the block editor? I don't mean in terms of blocks for front end layout, more in terms of UI for the WooCommerce data entry.

I have a rudimentary plugin that removes the block editor parts on custom post types. It just leaves custom field metaboxes that one might create when using ACF and Toolset. Good for where you might be restricting a user to data entry where the front end is catered for by template made elsewhere with blocks.

The reason I like this set up a lot more now rather than the classic UI is the fact that the block editor UI saves and updates asynchronously. This saves a lot of time where the older classic UI has to reload for these actions to take place (3.8Mb bandwidth where I work).

I appreciate that converting the WooCommerce UI is probably not a trivial task for developers.
