I can tell you that new users like Gutenberg. It is us, the old shortcode style users, that have/had a problem with it. It took me some time to switch to it but I must say that I like it now.
Things like copy/paste from Google docs with keeping all of relevant the styles and links works. And I guess that a bunch of users is doing that - using WP as a platform for distribution of content.
- corobo 5y agoSeconding this, end users do seem to like how much they can do themselves with it Especially when you add custom blocks specific to their site needs
- IncRnd 5y agoIt's not just shortcode using admins who don't want to use Gutenberg. There are many people who have used any one of various visual composers for years. They generally don't have the time or inclination to learn a new workflow that doesn't support what they already do. Having a classic editor plugin has nothing to do with characterizing people as crufty throwbacks who can't learn new things. Many people are in the business of their business and don't care to learn the next new-greatest-software every few months.
- taubek 5y agoYes, I get it. I've used Elementor, DIVI, Beaver Builder, WPBakery , ... And I always hated when I had to switch to a new builder for some new project.
