In reply to Stephen Vaughan.

It isn't up to speed with itself. And everything it's competing with (via mimicry) already has a head start. It addresses some nice things, but it's a net loss in terms of playing to WP's strengths.

Sure, you can go to Classic Editor with a plug-in, but if the best thing about a new feature is how easy it is to turn it off, maybe that's a sign it's not representative of the will of the people?
