The case for #Divi (yes, seriously)
A thread from @devinegger on why @elegantthemes' Divi is his go-to for drag-and-drop building, even over core full-site editing and Gutenberg blocks. #WordPress (1/9)https://masterwp.com/a-case-for-divi-in-an-evolving-wordpress-universe/ …

#WordPress core Full Site Editing seems to be trying to play to the middle ground here when there really isn’t much of one, and as much as it pains me to say it, this may actually be a place better suited for (yes, I’m saying it) Divi.

All of a sudden building a website with Divi felt similar to how I would build hand-coded sites. I could go in and set some defaults and variables. Build out a header and a footer, then a home page. Create a few reusable single column, 2-column, and 3-column templates. (5/9)

As a developer, creating highly customized and hand-coded WordPress websites is still by far my preferred method of building websites. I love building good WordPress websites, and there’s nothing that will convince me there’s a better way to do it. (8/9)https://understrap.com/

That said, if for some reason you ask me to pick between Full Site Editing with the Block Editor, signing up for Wix, or using Divi... I’ll choose Divi every single time. (9/9)https://masterwp.com/a-case-for-divi-in-an-evolving-wordpress-universe/ …
