In reply to Catesby. I support a hard fork, so that we can all carry on without this oops-we-better-do-it-too ultimate emulation of Wix. I never realized the devs lacked so much imagination, innovation, creativity. Rather than lead the market, they decided to follow. And, you are right. I have yet to read anything that evidences the devs interest in or consideration of the impact on the workforce that has developed alongside and become woven into WordPress. One poster elsewhere said that VC money was likely the rocket booster behind this seismic shift in WP. I've always had my hands in custom coding of WP or Drupal sites. I'm increasing my Drupal work. This project is now aimed at enabling every single person on the planet to build a website for little jingle. Is that a good thing?

This isnt even alpha, i dont know who would use this when wp 5 comes out, maybe a grandma that can put together some content blocks and some images?
Lets be real, at my workplace we work with high end designs and custom functionality and custom wordpress dashboards making heavy use of ACF, custom theme/plugin development, that even visual composer wont help, and this gutenberg is not just there yet by a long shot, not even at 20% of visual composer or one of those advanced page builders for wordpress.
If i had to use gutenberg to do the work i do with wordpress i would be out of business. Maybe it will get better in 2030

Hey guys! Is it possible to add one product (namely a ticket for a concert), that can be bought online to my site with Gutenberg?

After converting to Gutenberg, I cannot figure how to add a comment to my post using the editor.

I’m still on the fence, I can see the potential but have also had a few issues with it…probably things that will be worked out prior to the WP release.

I tried the plugin for a few days. Even the simplest of tasks is difficult. For a drag and drop editor it is probably the most unintuitive one out there. I agree MCE needs an upgrade but this is not the way to go. There are a lot of visual composers that do the job far quicker and better than Gutenberg, and they are plugins so the users choose their preferred method. This is not a revolutionary editor at all, it is a poor imitation of many other of this style of editor for those webdevs that want or need it. The 2nd best solution for Gutenberg is for it to remain a plugin, forever. The best solution is to dump it and actually be innovative and build a better MCE rather than this disaster. WP forums are full of negatives about this but the devs do not seem to care what people think. It is so bad there is a building chorus for a fork of WP. If you get stuck with it at 5.0 release there is already a plugin ready to go called ‘disable Gutenberg’ to purge it from your system.

I managed to make a custom post type. But I d like to have a template attached to it. So that I always have the same standard blocks showing up when I add a new post. How do I do that?
