I’m leaving this review to say “sayonara” to WordPress before I migrate to another hosting site.

Gutenberg is terrible. Terrible, terrible, terrible. Now you have to pay EXTRA for the “Classic Editor” plugin. (Why do we have to pay extra for a service we’ve ALREADY been paying for all these years?) And there’s no guarantee that “Classic Editor” plugin will be supported beyond 2021!

Folks, WordPress has made it very clear that they don’t care about us. They don’t care about our business. So, let’s not give it to them. Let the market punish them for their arrogance and stupidity. Take your money elsewhere.

Bye-bye, WordPress! Bye-bye, Gutenberg!

Hi,

The classic editor plugin is free https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/

Also, the classic editor will be supported at least until December 31, 2022 (and everyone is free to keep dev’ing it after that time)

Also, you could also use the classic editor block if you prefer that interface

I think @nor3ast is referring to

https://wordpress.com/blog/2020/08/13/the-classic-editing-experience-is-moving-not-leaving/

From August 11 on all WordPress.com accounts will start to switch from Classic editor to the new Block editor. It will happen in phases, and you’ll get an email to let you know to expect the change.

And yes, this is not wordpress.org but wordpress.com. nevertheless very interesting, as the future for w.org users will probably also look like.
