  In English : It’s been a long time since I published any articles on my WordPress.Com blog. Because the Block Editor (both the old and the new one) are very difficult to use. Using the New Block Editor is also difficult. If the article to be published is long, I must always go back to the beginning of this article to see some editing tools. The different editing tools are divided between several parts of the screen. And often I don’t know where to find the editing tools I need. And I waste a lot of time looking for the editing tools I need. The ideal is to have editing tools like those of Microsoft Word, or those of Open Office Writer.

  In French : Cela fait longtemps que je ne publie plus aucun article sur mon blog WordPress.Com. Parce que le Block Editor (à la fois l’ancien et le nouveau) sont trés difficiles à utiliser. L’utilisation du New Block Editor est aussi difficile. Si l’article à publier est long, il faut toujours remonter au début de cet article pour voir quelques outils d’édition. Les différents outils d’éditions sont divisés entre plusieurs parties de l’écran. Et souvent, je ne sais où trouver les outils d’édition dont j’ai besoin. Et je perds énormément de temps à chercher les outils d’édition dont j’ai besoin. L’idéal est d’avoir des outils d’édition comme ceux de Microsoft Word, ou ceux Open Office Writer.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  We have tips for transitioning from the classic editor to blocks https://wordpress.com/support/switching-from-the-classic-to-the-block-editor/ and FAQs: https://wordpress.com/support/replacing-the-older-wordpress-com-editor-with-the-wordpress-block-editor/#frequently-asked-questions

  And, if you really want to use something like the classic editor, we recommend sticking with the classic block: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/classic-block/

  For more details, please see https://wordpress.com/blog/2020/08/13/the-classic-editing-experience-is-moving-not-leaving/

  We do recommend the new editor though, and we have some extensive documentation available at https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/
