 * When editing links, if the link it a long URL, the “edit” pencil gets lost and
   becomes unclickable.
 * Also, the toolbar will sometimes cover up the link partially, making it difficult
   to click the “advanced” dropdown.
 * Finally, I think ALL bloggers would agree that the “open in new tab” checkbox
   should NOT be behind an addition dropdown click. It’s way too much clicking just
   to make a link open in a new tab.

 * For UI issues with the Gutenberg editor, I recommend raising an issue over at
   [the project’s GitHub site](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues). (
   free registration required) Please do a search first to ensure your issue has
   not already been raised.
 * I for one don’t have an issue with all the clicks to get to “opens in new tab”.
   I rarely, if ever use it. Everyone knows how to navigate the internet. They can
   decide for themselves if they want new tab or not. I resent being sent to a new
   tab without prior notice. If I wanted a new tab, I can very well do that for 
   myself. Don’t tell me how to navigate my internet experience 🙂
