In reply to Mark Ciotola.

Like others here, I must say that among my client base, every solo blogger, sole practitioner, small business owner and especially NGO operators are excited about the possibilities Gutenberg affords.

In my experience as an agency owner, these people do have the money for a website setup or retheme (come on, we can spin up a generic site from a blueprint and have it production-ready in an hour or three with a good managed host and a Genesis theme)… They cannot afford constant content updates/postings, landing pages, training, content delivery services and SEO every time the publish a post... Instead, they post rarely and write thin, broken content. This makes their organization and the agency look bad.

I was just talking today with a NGO board member (and WP beta user) about the opportunities that Gutenberg will afford this small education outreach charity. They're excited because they can now post their own articles without help, delays and extra expense, leaving them more time and money to help our local students and workforce. They're don't feel cheated... They feel motivated, hopeful and ready to learn!
