Gutenberg No - Classic Editor Yes!

I Was Wrong! (About Gutenberg)

Forgive me for all the past negative comments about the Classic Editor. I have finally become convinced, and deleted the Block Editor from all my sites. Perhaps in a year or so, they might catch up, but certainly not now. I have done a complete 180 since my earlier comments.

When I started I thought the block editor made so much sense at least for a newbie like me. Adding images was really easy, and inserting new blocks was a piece of cake. Little did I know all the things it could not do. Yesterday, I was working on my last Gutenberg site, got frustrated with the limitations, and installed the Classic Editor, Tiny MCE Advanced, and deleted Gutenberg.

Now I'm 100% Classic! Thanks for all the advice and training. I think things will be much easier going forward.
