I feel like the intent of the Gutenberg editor and all the 'blocks' is basically "we want to make the specialization of 'bespoke website developer' obsolete".

I feel like the intent of the Gutenberg editor and all the 'blocks' is basically "we want to make the specialization of 'bespoke website developer' obsolete". Whether it's there or not, I have no idea; I only use WP for my personal site, which runs on templates I kludged up myself years ago. But my less-technical friends? If they have a site it's usually something built with some kind of sitebuilder. Gutenberg's trying to serve their needs.
