More on WordPress 5 or what was Gutenberg

As I read some posts on upgrading I go back to my original thoughts when I did the Gutenberg trial, This is not worthwhile.

Now I have tried the new editor on new posts I am pretty happy.


First of all;
I have not tried to upgrade any old material. Going forward I shall exclusively use the new editor.
Using the Classic editor plugin you just turn it on or off to what ever you choose, it's that simple.

Why would I do this?
A lot of thought and research has gone into the product to compete with the likes of Thrive etc on a paid platform.
They have run Beta testing for many months now and I believe those that have taken it on are happy.
There are a several ways to do this.
1) ignore it and it will go away. Nup not going to happen.
2) Do Marion Blacks training and follow her example. She of reason in the debate.
3) Do as I did. Accept the little boxes and do a post using as many as you can to create a living post.



Note that I am in my 70s and I found it easy once in the swing of things. Yes There were some challenges finding things for the first time but once found never lost.

Why do I like it?
It is quicker to do a post.
It controls your spaces
Manages your H heading better
Offers more options that you can simply use
without having to do a google how to search.
With a resulting cleaner product

Don't despair at the first pass, Like anything new it takes a mind shift to get your head around it but after a couple of posts you can make your own conclusions.

I won't write anymore on this but seeing so much negativity I thought I should reinforce my experience as a more than satisfied user.

Come on YOU CAN DO IT.

Thanks Peter for sharing. If they invested that much beta testing and time, surely it has to be worth a try.
