    When I first used Woo I figured this would change when Woo got to it. I figured they would catch up with the rest of WordPress. It’s been a very long time since then. I can’t believe a product page description is still just a text area. Obviously, we would all like to add rich online experiences to our products. You don’t even have to really do anything. The work of making blocks work is already done. The expectations for what I can do on a website for my clients have eclipsed Woo for this reason. I’m going to start over the websites I’m developing now without Woo because I want to make them look cool.

    Hi @jkejke,

    Thanks for your feedback.

    I understand you want to have the option for Gutenberg in the product editor. There has been internal discussion on how to approach this as there’s a risk of backward compatibility impact, and we haven’t had a set plan at this time in introducing Gutenberg to the product editor.

    I’d recommend keeping track of our progress via this Github page:

    https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/28419

    You’ll find custom code to enable Gutenberg in WooCommerce product editor on this thread:

    Make sure to save a full backup before trying that!

    Feel free to get back to us in case you have any additional questions.

    Best regards.

    Backward compatibility could be maintained by keeping a toggle between the two editors and making the legacy editor default on existing products with no toggle setting.
