 * I am not a developer. I am not a coder. I am simply a person who has and maintains
   their own sites, and on occasion puts up and maintains the sites of others.
 * As soon as I updated my test site to Gutenberg, I was immediately completely 
   unable to figure out how to manage the site that I have successfully looked after
   for 10+ years.
 * Thanks WordPress. Gutenberg Sucks. Big time.
 * Now I”m dependant on yet another plugin to keep my site functioning. I also have
   to worry about that plugin developer abandoning their plugin, or deciding to 
   charge for it. Or perhaps it becoming incompatible with another WP update in 
   the future.
 * I don’t know who the mastermind was who came up with this brainchild, but like
   when NGG was sold years ago, this is an epic fail.
 * Paint me disillusioned and dissatisfied.
