I hate the WordPress Gutenberg editor!
I gave it a try, I really did. But it sucks! The blocks are nothing but a pain in the ass to use, and I can’t even select the entire text of my post. Who came up with it? It’s sheer torture trying to use it on my iPad Pro, despite the fact that I’m running iPadOS and get a desktop version of WordPress in Safari.
I just installed the Classic Editor and I’m finally back to a great WordPress writing and editing environment. I don’t know why I bothered to keep the Gutenberg editor around for as long as I did, the interface is just atrocious.
I guess I’m not the only one who feels that way since the Classic Editor has more than 5 million installs. I’m just the stupid one that kept trying to make the crappy block editor work instead of just dumping it right from the start.
Well, at least I tried.
Good riddance to Gutenberg. What a piece of crap.
If, at some point, the Classic Editor is no longer supported then I’ll be moving off WordPress and onto another CMS. No way am I going back to Gutenberg…
