Hi there! I tried to setup a new post and I noticed that every time I press enter a new block is created. This is already a shortcoming, for a single text shouldn’t be divided into multiple blocks. When I formatted one such a block, all the others were not touched. This is extremely unconvenient. Just imagine typing a long text as I usually do on the start of a new post. You have it split and you need to check the correct format setting of the blocks, as they were separate entities instead of a single text. In the old ‘Word-like’ editor everything worked as expected when doing such formatting. Even when you put a figure or gallery in the old editor it was included in the ‘text body’, and modified accordingly (like centered, aligned to the left or right and so on) together with the text around it. Something which does not appear possibile (or so easy to get) now.
All in all, the subdivision of an integrated content in compartments is basically a wrong paradigm in my view, at least based on my blogging experience.
Less critical, but still rather annoying, the FB like appearance of blocks when you are editing them – very small and narrow newspaper-like columns, like they are prepared to host only small content. My pages are long ‘book chapters’ full of galleries of pictures, and they turn extremely difficult to navigate from this editing interface. With the old editor they looked more compact and far easier to navigate, like Notepad++ files – actually, I sometimes create a notepad file and past it into the ‘old editor’ to start with a new post.
Get rid of blocks guys, they are just not for blogging.
