In reply to Marc.
I like the direction Gutenberg is taking, though it’s odd that it requires plugins for such basic things as custom column widths, padding, and margins. With plugins like Ultimate Add-ons for Gutenberg, Kadence Blocks, and Atomic Blocks, Gutenberg behaves like an intermediate-level page builder – but why were even the most basic style enhancements left out of core?

I’m wondering whether the core team didn’t want to scare the WP community by having people think Gutenberg would compete with page builders. Perhaps more features will be added slowly until WordPress is closer to the likes of Wix and Squarespace (though it’s unlikely the core feature set will be as glitzy).

In any case, I am now creating pages with Gutenberg as though I’m using a commercial page builder. I actually find it easier to use than some of the more beloved page builders, two of which I own licenses to.

Even writing posts with it is getting easier, though it’s nice to have the option of using a Classic Block or the Classic Editor (the latter selectively available for posts if you use the “Disable Gutenberg” plugin).
