“Hey, we’re wordpress, a CMS for bloggers.
We use to have this old school perfectly working text editor, but hey, it’s 2022, and we should evolve, right ?
Here, look at this fantaaaaaastic new text editor we just implement by default. Isn’t he lovely ?
Oh yeah boy. You can do a LOT of new fonction. Like, not a single one you actually need, but hey, who knows ? Might need it in a billion year. Anyway, it’s already here !
Aaaaand, you know. About the old text editing stuff. We suppress all the cools shortcuts. Cause WHO IN THE HELL needs to EDIT TEXT on WORDPRESS right ?”

Have to say I completely agree. Hopefully the classic editor plugin will never be phased out.
The first thing I do in any wp site is disable that crap, it the worst text editor ever created
Eh, I’m used to Gutenberg at this point. There are a few things I still find frustrating (copying multiple blocks of text for example). But overall I actually find it pretty quick and intuitive to use at this point. I almost never use the classic block/plugin.
I’m just one person. But that’s my take.
And change never makes anyone happy initially. I’m sure we can dig back and find how opinionated everyone was whenever the first rich-text editor was introduced. Hell, there were probably people angry about color TVs back in the day. To each their own.
