I'm happy with any new Wordpress advancement, the only one I still struggle with is Gutenberg which still after however many years of being default leaves a lot to be desired.
Initially I felt the same way about Gutenberg, but it’s starting to grow on me. There’s a setting that understands markdown—so it’s easy to copy over posts from Obsidian when they are close to being ready. Plus the layout does just about everything I want with photos and video. I’m content with it.
I've run into more issues with Gutenberg than any other editor, every time I am forced to use it, I want to just abandon WordPress. A very stupid thing I noticed the other day, let's say you have a list, and you want to inline bold and color the entire list. Guess what? You can't. You have to select every list item one by one. Why would anyone design something like that? The old WYSIWYG editor can do that in 5 seconds.
The way it also treats Headings, etc as just different blocks from the rest of the text is so annoying. It takes 2-3 clicks to do something you used to be able to do instantly. It feels so unfinished, you just shouldn't have to spend so much time doing very basic things. Very baffling considering it's been out for so long at this point.
