  Counter-intuitiv – that was the (english) description I was looking for the other day in a post I wrote. It turned up in a post here; https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/classic-editor-86/

  My slogan is “everything is easy when you know how”.
  When learning something new – you build the new knowledge on/from what you have onboard from before. In an editor – any editor – there is (should be) a certain rythm to how you go about things. The more you know- the more knowledge you build – the stronger rythm.
  Alongside knowledge, you get support from intuition. You can decide and choose from what you consider most likely.

  If an editor leaves you to search at/in unlikeliy places for what you are looking for (based on your experiences and knowledge) – you end up frustrated.
  There’s been a lot of frustration here the past couple of weeks.

  Things change. WP has chosen block editing.
  I’m sure developers will continue to work on how things and features will appear, be presented.
  Because editing with WP blocks has to be more intuitiv – ease of use will then follow.

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

  Thanks for the feedback. Is there any particular feature you’re trying to use that’s not intuitive right now?

  For what it’s worth, and it may not seem this way, but we do get great feedback about the editor as well. Just not so much here in the support forums. Still, if there’s a specific feature that doesn’t make sense to you, let us know what it is so we can pass that feedback along. We do that a lot in hopes to make it better.

  Something like this would help most:

  – I am trying to (something specific: add an image, copy an existing post, change the headline, etc)

  – I clicked/typed ___, then ____

  – I expected ______

  – This happened instead: ______

  Thanks in advance!
