Wow. These were my concerns as an average user of WordPress, when Gutenberg was first available to be tested. It was the most frustrating, rage-enducing experience in the world for me, and my main concern was that it wasn’t (and still isn’t) intuitive, and requires one to do SO much more to accomplish once-simple tasks. What used to take me literally a few seconds to do ONE thing, now takes MINUTES - like 30! Gutenberg basically ensures that a writer will get absolutely nothing accomplished.

I was returning to Joomla, but I was notified that a fork of WordPress was in the works, so I’ll be switching to ClassicPress. Right now I’m just waiting for the fork to go live, so I made sure to block WP updates from installing onto my server.
