Gutenberg

Congratulation with the latest update! You managed to NOT make any improvedments in logic and userfriendliness of the Gutenberg tool. I would suggest to scrap this project and go on the market place and just purchase any of the excisting pagebuilder. It doesnt matter if it is DIVI, Elementor, Oxygen og which ever, then you can claim any of these to be the official WordPress builder and you can start make money. Done deal, no more waste of time and everyone can get on with their websites.

For accessibility, you absolutely must add the option to turn off add-a-block previews on hover, and/or make the preview only appear after your cursor sits on a block option for at least 0.5 seconds. (Preferably add both.) Moving my cursor from one block to the other makes the preview image flash in and out, and it's causing eye strain and giving me headaches/nausea, which makes it totally unusable. I'm switching to the classic editor until this is fixed.

For those of us that require things to work, and don't have time to play...this is absolutely the worst editor ever. We immediately install the Classic Editor plugin on every client site we create.

The worst part: Gutenberg is not a WYSIWYG editor. It has its own styles that have nothing to do with the appearance of the site. The site's theme should have separately specified styles for the editor that would match the site's style exactly. It is impossible for the theme developer to maintain this exactly. A lot of unclear states. Absent or weak indication of the selected object. Due to the fact that in the left column grouped Adding new blocks and List of blocks, and in the right column grouped Post and Block settings is not always clear what we're working with - with a block, the structure or post settings. It would be better to never hide the Block List, and in another column group Add New or Selected Block Settings. The interface blinks and changes location. For example, after selecting a block, a Settings container appears above it that overlaps the block above. Another example, when you select a block, it may enlarge, showing some hidden options that for some reason aren't placed in the right column of the block's settings. And a very unpleasant example: constantly closing the List of used blocks on the left, causing the field with the main content to expand, changing the view and location. Uncompact interface. Only a few elements fit into the height of the screen. Very large labels above the fields, large indents between the fields, large fonts. The settings are grouped in Accordion of large heights. Often it is not possible to see all settings at once. As a result it requires a lot of scrolling. Excessive number of icons. Very many actions are encoded in pictograms. It is not at all clear what all those different kinds of arrows and sticks are responsible for. Too many blocks. There are different blocks with little variation in features. Widget blocks and structure blocks are in the same pile. Lots of rarely used blocks. Blocks can be disabled - to do this, you have to click on each one in a separate menu. Lack of common and basic style settings for blocks. Example: indents, colors, background, sizes. Since there are many blocks, not all are designed to display well in any theme. This not infrequently forces you to customize the appearance of the block through additional CSS. Not designed for plugins. Editor plugins often add a large number of customizations. In the Classic Editor, these settings were placed at the bottom in the wide part of the editor. In the Gutenberg, some plug-in settings can only be placed as one of the Accordion elements in the narrow column on the right. As a result, the narrow column is overloaded and long.

My client says every WordPress update creates new confusion and also makes his PC very slow. As a good CMS it must be user-friendly with lower settings as possible. The new editor is very hard to use even with simple post, he says. He want to switch to other alternative CMS.

the success of WordPress is because of its simplicity and Gutenberg dose not fit in that.
