 * I really didn’t think it was going to be this bad. I got all my clients prepared
   for the switchover but holy sh*t this is a mess. In my 20+ years of working on
   sites I’ve never had anyone ask for anything remotely like this. It’s causing
   so many more problems without fixing anything that was broken.
 * I feel WordPress missed the mark by a long shot on this. Please, just make this
   an option if you’re dead set on having it as part of core.
 * TBH though, it’s ok to just say “hey, we made a mistake” and ditch it altogether.
   That’s probably your best bet. You would be saying that you listen to your core
   users feedback and we would all forgive you and thank you for listening.

 * You should grab a chair; there have been numerous posts in these forums where
   it has been stated that there are exactly 0 chances of going back.
 * Your best bet is to learn how to use the new editor, while maintaining old clients
   with Classic Editor or Disable Gutenberg.

 * Blocks can stay if they introduce a “classic” block that will mimic Classic Editor
   capabilities where we can continue with everything as normal.
 * If they continue to support Classic Editor, so be it. As long as the core can
   work with that, it’s fine with me.
 * Good luck with setting sites the way you want without using some additional plugins(
   which is detrimental to what these blocks were supposed to solve).
 * People will get used to another useless thing and work with it, that’s true, 
   however, there are better solutions to WP you could introduce that are really
   so basic, it’s funny.
 * But I guess some blogger or a bunch of had this beautiful idea of blocks for 
   their personal blogs and felt this would be wonderful to have. And they built
   this simplistic block functionality that works great for other simplistic blogs,
   too. But in reality, it’s a step back.
 * But why bother, when there’s no direct financial incentive, right?
 * I wish WP would be paid. I’d pay for it and then vote with my money.
 * But that’s what you get with free stuff. You get what you pay for. I pay for 
   a lot of plugins because their developers listen to what their users want. I 
   can hardly rely on free stuff.
 * So, yes, this perfectly reflects the free nature of the platform.
