So Much Better Now

By bloohair on September 1, 2025

6 years after testing out the original Gutenberg block system, it is now a great deal better. There are add-ons which now make laying out a page a far better experience. Columns can be adjusted and the addition of the Document Overview sidebar means that moving elements around the page is far easier.

If works flawlessly till it's not.

I rarely get any error with Gutenberg, but whenever I do, it is a painful process to point out the cause and it takes time. But It works better than it used to before. :)

Though I also like the idea of some used that says that there should be option for people to not use this instead of TinyMce

Good, but feels half-baked

By ronjona6 on August 29, 2025

Gutenberg has potential, but it still feels a bit clunky. Some features are nice, yet the editor often gets in the way instead of making things easier. Not terrible, but not smooth either.

Good idea, poor execution

By williedgarcia on August 26, 2025

At first, I thought Gutenberg would make editing easier, but the blocks feel heavy and not user-friendly. Needs a lot of improvement before I’d actually enjoy using it.

Bad.. just bad

The worst developers experience i have ever had the displeasure of wasting my time on this mortal realm on. Why did they do this?

Worst thing that happened to WP

By kateham on August 12, 2025

over democratizing publishing is not working. 2025 and you still dont know what is happening when you edit a page.

client-side full-page navigation

The client-side full-page navigation works perfectly. Great work! Thank you very much!

We do not want to be beta tester anymore

It has been now "some time" since we use Gutenberg.
"We" as a company have the ressources to do workarounds, fixes, etc.

But our customers do not (especially the messed gallery issue caused a lot of frustration).
Therefore we always get asked to install Elementor, WPBakery or even more funny: we get a lot of requests to install the Classic editor (which is crazy btw.).

WHY did WordPress go this way?
Whom did you have to compete against?
Elementor and the other page builders?

Well, if this was the intention, Gutenberg should be better than worse.

Dear developers, yeah we know it is tough out there for you.
But for us users it is also tough to use your output.

El peor plugin de la historia de WP

By metalxd117 on July 28, 2025

Llevo 7 años programando en WordPress, hay clientes que quieren sitios basados en arrastrar y soltar, he usado Elementor, WPBakery y etc... Pero nunca había probado Gutenberg (Estoy obligado a hacerlo), es lo peor que he usado jamás, no sirve para nada, Matias pero que haces????????????????

Compatibility Issues

By Syagamreddy Adireddy (adireddy) on July 18, 2025

I’ve been using this editor plugin as my default on almost every site I build. It works great on its own, but I noticed a few issues when combined with Jetpack or certain caching plugins. Still, nothing major and overall it’s stable, fast, and reliable. Great work by the dev team.
