 * Probably the worst idea since CMS are on the market. One block per paragraph?
   This would be ridiculous if it wasn’t so sad: space consuming. When finally able
   to edit a block, it covers the upper part so one does not see its title. Galleries
   are so called because… clicking an image shoud magnify it. But this is just possible
   with another extension. Why are the “most used” blocks always opened… and not
   the most used at all? Which average webmaster understands that one has to click
   twice to publish an article? I’ve already spent hours reconstructing pages because
   webmasters left the page after having clicked the publish button. And worst of
   all: why is the Gutenberg editor not updated along with the core? The IE/Edge
   issue was long known, but one had to install the Gutenberg plugin separately 
   to avoid this bug. This wasn’t part of the 5.x core updates. I could continue
   even for hours complaining. All in all: sorry for those hours, days, weeks, months
   spent in developing. This is proably the most useless “enhancement” ever met 
   in a CMS. It may be nice for blogging dummies who want to choose between 24 different
   video and social media embeds, but not for developers or serious webmasters. 
   Really sorry about that.

 * The pre-publish checks can actually be disabled so that you don’t have to click
   twice. Click the three dot menu in the upper right of the editor screen, click
   Options, and uncheck the box for “Enable Pre-publish checks”.
