In reply to: [Gutenberg] “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”Cheers Hugh.
There has been tremendous “actionable” feedback. That is, don’t do it. We don’t want or, more importantly, need it. Is that “voice” being heard?
Agreed re people generally being more motivated to leave negative feedback. However, you only have to look at the 20,000+ positive reviews of [link redacted] Yoast to realise that your analogy is not a science. When WP users and devs like something, it shows. Assuming that there are myriad Gutenberg supporters keeping silent is a bit arrogant considering the very vocal support of plugins/features that are actually needed.
WordPress is a community built on a collective, respected voice.
Perhaps you could explain to me why the need was felt to introduce this? Was it a community driven decision? Or was it a top down decision aimed at competing with increasingly profit making “drag and drop website builder” services?
WordPress users and devs are generally stoic advocates of the platform. We are committed, our jobs depend on it and we are truly grateful for the creation of WP.

In reply to: [Gutenberg] “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”Hi Hugh
Appreciate you and the other mods diligence in responding to all the negative comments on here (bit overwhelming for a community driven development team…). However, the process is backwards. Rather than such a huge change being implemented due to user/dev feedback, it is being forced in AGAINST the wishes of the majority of users/devs without whom, WordPress wouldn’t be a thing.
Enforcing such an unnecessary change (yes I know about the Classic Editor plugin – That has 200,000+ installs and only one 1 star review…) and then asking objecting users to justify their objection is backwards.
If you and the WP team valued our opinion as much as your responses to bad reviews make out, Gutenberg, at best, would just be a plugin. If our opinions and views matter, where is the evidence of users asking for this in the first place? Or does WP just “know better” than the vast majority of users?
Any responses to your well meaning questions are pointless. It’s not like you’re going to listen to the overwhelming majority of users that have made WordPress what it is today is it?
The WordPress community has been speaking loudly and clearly since this idea was first floated. But yeah, I’ll repeat what countless others have already said to help you “iron out any issues that come up” as WP pushes through this huge change to a community of objecting users to whom WP owe their success.
Disappointing, naive, pointless and patronising response.
