Yeah -- it absolutely is headed in the direction of being a website builder with luxury competition (Squarespace; Wix is no luxury, it's a torture).
And I must say, even though I have developed themes in the past, I'd prefer to see Gutenberg succeed in making most themes irrelevant. Themes that can be customised without PHP entirely seem to me to be a good solution to a lot of people's complaints about the untidy boundary between plugins and themes.
I am only familiar with Webflow from people who say "I've been trying to do this in Webflow but I'd prefer if we could do it in Wordpress".
