In reply to Michael Ginbsurg.

I agree. This looks like a "Hail Mary" play to try to compete with Wix/Weebly/Squarespace and appease investors not within a few years incrementally (as would be reasonable and logical given the scope of WP use and development) but immediately.

Long term it might be fine to have a "blocks" version of Wix, but short term, because everything has to be done immediately asap, you see a buggy version of Gutenberg being fine to ship (and it would have been if others had not put their foot down) with even Yoast having to tell them not to try roll it out during Xmas.

I'm switching all my sites over to ClassicPress and long term just finding a new CMS going forward - because Gutenberg will be too buggy for a while, and too raw (few design options, buggy plugins, constant updating with more bugs and so on) to try to do quality work with.
