2025 and it still sucks!! The classic editor is the most popular plugin with over 9 million downloads. Should say enough and show gutenberg and the blockbuilder is an absolute disaster!

I still build with astro pro and elementor, much easier than that crap above.

I still actively hate Gutenberg. It takes some of the usability of old WP.

Thanks for doing a bit of research. I loved reading the comments list – from both sides.

My two cents worth is that Gutenberg was absolute garbage when it launched and should never have been forced on the WordPress community in that state. Thankfully, it has gotten loads better! I’ve converted my sites from their various page builder builds into Gutenberg, and they all run smoother, are easier to edit, and have zero ongoing update issues. The biggest problem that remains with it is the hidden UI – you have no idea where things will appear on screen (despite it being easy to move them after).
