Gutenberg sucks. So let's add it to the widget functionality too. Thanks for nothing WordPress. At least this plugin exists.

Why are you (WordPress developers) driving us into a corner from version to version and forcing us to look for "crutches" in order to return what worked great. Thanks to the author of this plugin for the opportunity to return the previous view of the widgets! === Что же вы (разработчики WordPress) от версии к версии загоняете нас в угол и вынуждаете искать "костыли", чтобы вернуть то, что прекрасно работало. Спасибо автору данного плагина, что имеется возможность вернуть прежний вид виджетов!

The new UI is intolerably slow. I'm so glad to have the old interface back.
