  I’ve tried to use Blocks. Some of the layout features would be useful. But it’s all so slow and clunky, the editor take a long time to load, nothing is intuitive and you lose basic editing features that I rely on, especially the ability to add colour to highlight text.

  I just feel it’s fighting me every inch of the way, some nerd has decided to build in more functionality than you could possibly need and thrown away the functionality you actually use. I’m also getting unpredictable layout glitches and it’s not possible to just go into HTML and see what’s going on without getting into a fight with the editor.

  To restore the Classic Editor, follow the steps under “Will I still be able to use the old editor?” at https://en.support.wordpress.com/wordpress-editor/#frequently-asked-questions

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