WordPress 5.0 “Bebo” - Say Hello to the New Editor

WordPress 5.0 introduces a block-based editor that offers a streamlined editing experience. The new editor is better at inserting media content and rearranging any type of content. Each piece of content is in its own block, which is meant to help site owners decide how content is displayed.

I haven't used Wordpress for a while, but might just install this to see what the hype is all about.

I've been using it a lot since WordCamp Europe on some of my sites. It's really good for some types of websites. My personal WP site is now all Gutenberg-based. Since July. Squirrly https://www.producthunt.com/post... works really well with both Gutenberg and the Classic Editor, and I think it's really nice that people can just switch between the two editors whenever they like. It's very easy to do this and it will give people a lot of freedom. The blocks are a really great idea and I can't wait to see more awesome block types created. And as a personal note: if more WordPress plugin and theme developers would actually work well with the guidelines given by WP, then Gutenberg wouldn't seem to cause "so many problems". Just said this here for those of you who will want to blame WP 5.0 for everything. All in all it's a good step forward.

I am just commenting here to record my type-print to the beginning of this new history that is going to be re-written for the WordPress after 5.0 . Congratulations Team @Wordpress

This is what could get me to use Wordpress again.

Gutenberg is the most basic "page builder" you can find on the market right now. You can't do half of the stuff featured on the video properly. For example, you cannot even set background images to rows yet alone adjusting column widths based on screen size. People are going to use it as "post" layouts inside their blog, and then complain about the extra css and js files slowing their site 😉

Nobody asked for this. Nobody wanted this. When people tried it, the general sentiment was to get rid of it. Yet, here it is and it might just be the beginning of the end for WordPress.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Terrible
