I got into WP to build a site that tracks robot teams and competition events. I didn't want to write PHP but found a great plugin called PODS. It allowed me to do all the inter-page linkage (orgs->teams->robots) without any PHP. Another plugin does calendar stuff for the events. It was quick and easy to set it up, and works pretty smoothly. I've tried Gutenberg and wasn't that impressed. It wasn't adding to anything I was doing and it managed to break two small items. I know that the WP people are trying to go against Wix, etc. I'd like to have also seen them split into the new React and kept the "classic". I'll most likely become one of the 1000's of sites that become frozen on a 4.9.x release. It will be interesting to see if there are updates in the 4.9 tree or if it will be 5.0 only. I look at the Wix, Weebly, etc market place has being worth WP going after and I'm sure they will try to pull company/vendor sites from the Facebook and I'm good with that. But one of the powers of WP is the ability to make pretty complex sites using PHP/Plugins. Moving to React isn't going to make that easy. I really think that this is a case of dumbing down a product may not be a good idea for lots of the current users.
