 * Hi there!
 * It is possible to remove the Gutenberg block editor plugin by installing the 
   classic editor plugin [https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/).
 * Let us know if there is any specific reason you are removing the editor, it may
   be useful to improve it in a future version. Thank you in advance.

 * I want to remove it also. I and millions of others like the classic editor, the
   gutenberg we do NOT like. We shouldn’t be forced to use it, if we feel more comfortable
   using the Classic. Mine worked last night and then tonight bam, all I get is 
   visual/text mode.
 * And, using the disable gutenberg doesn’t work at all. Many people will be leaving
   wordpress you watch… 🙁 it’s no safer than regular php. As a matter of fact it’s
   less secure because people use programs to highjack your comments, no matter 
   what you are using.

 * add a plugin to remove add things suddenly we will increase the site for nothing
 * moreover it adds more bug than if it will be really deleted

 * yes impossible to make shortcodes work with Gutenberg and the speed
