  I began using WordPress about 10 years ago and have been happy working with it. Until now. The new Gutenberg editor is an absolute catastrophe, and I’m about to abandone wordpress entirely. This is not an improvement on WordPress, it’s counter intuitive, you can’t quickly do ANYTHING, and half of the time is doesn’t work. I hate it! I know I can swith back to classic editor, but why in God’s name did you adapt this horrific interface? It’s like working with tinkertoys to build a sky scraper. I’ve been trying to redo my website using the Twenty Twenty theme, and all I get are elements I don’t want. In a previous version of WordPress this would be a simple task. I am frustrated that I invested so much time learning WordPress, and now it’s a waste. Thanks!

  Hi there!

  I’m sorry to hear you’re having problems using the new editor. If you prefer, we can set up the classic editor for your site as the default one, just let us know.
