I have a weird feeling, based on how the GB has handled user feedback – and their own statements saying that GB was decided on years ago and nothing was ever going to be able to stop the forced integration – that this group is just a facade. Damage control.

When you hear the Automattic people say things like ‘get on the train or get out of the way’ or ‘we don’t care about reviews’… that’s very telling about the state of WordPress.

My clients will continue getting GB disabled until that is no longer possible, after which we will switch to the inevitable fork. WP was absolutely fine as it was before Matt needed to appease his investors.
