The complicated futility of WordPress

I know there’s lots of noise about Gutenberg, but I love the block editor. It’s one of the reasons I stick with Wordpress rather than moving to a SSG.

Gutenberg is a bit of a pain to get started with, but it truly is kinda amazing page layout tool.

I think Wordpress needs something like better defaults. You are so dependent on picking a good theme and it seems really hard to tell what’s going on in the theme world.

I am an intense user of WP since 2016 and I wrote several plugins for my own purposes.

The overhaul that came with Gutenberg was painful and it took almost two years to catch and fix all the bugs, for example with embedded videos. But as of 2022, I am happy with Gutenberg and it feels intuitive.

I know a few guys who could never make the necessary switch in their heads and hate Gutenberg with a fury of thousand suns, though. All of them are over fifty.

Now, Substack has even more intuitive and amateur-user-friendly editor, but a much more limited set of options.

Gutenberg as a document content editor, is a good concept with truly awful execution (endless bugs).
