  Because these muppets at wordpress have completely stuffed the editor with this new crap.
  Can I revert to an old version of WordPress and get the normal editor back?
  I just want to do it for a week till I build a new site in Wix because wordpress has become utter rubbish

  Hi darren823,

  Yes, you can revert to the classic editor by navigating to ‘. . .’ settings icon in the upper right corner of the editing screen.

  Then, click on Switch to Classic Editor.

  And please share your site’s URL. It’s possible that you have a self-hosted WordPress site.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different platforms. To understand more, please read this.

  Hi there,

  Please see my reply to you in https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/new-editor-is-suck/

  You don’t have a WordPress.com site. To disable the new editor on your self-hosted WordPress site, you can install the Classic Editor plugin:
