In reply to mark k..

Very valid points and I fully agree.

Not being able to hide additional sidebars, "boxes" whatever in "Gutenberg" is another big disadvantage over the current (Classic) Editor.

A LOT of users actually use the "Screen Options" to make their edit screen a custom experience. This is not possible with "Gutenberg".

I hear Gutenberg's propaganda team screaming at me: "you can customize the experience via plugins or your theme" --- No. I don't want that. WordPress always had some things to customize the edit screen out of the box and Gutenberg takes away this absolutely useful and necessary feature.

A lot of users are already experiencing information overload in the Dashboard for new installs: Default welcome panel, Gutenberg callout panel, Privacy options pointer (popup) etc.. This is beating in the face of the user already.

And if they try Gutenberg they are beaten with so many options - but cannot even customize this experience in way that would make sense.

Also the searching for blocks etc. is a disaster still. I try to edit posts, pages etc. with Gutenberg every week to test out and do typical tasks my client do. Every single time I want to run away after 5 minutes or so. The most things in current "Gutenberg" just make no sense at all.

I already see a lot of (power) users finding a renewed love for the thing called "Classic Editor" and I guess this trend will continue if the user base is constantly being ignored.
