Is there any tool or plug-in that adds an interface on top of Gutenberg to make it less hideous, spiteful, horribly inefficient, evil, ugly, difficult, hateful, hostile? When you need to bang out a bunch of quick post Gutenberg is a living hell.
It seems to me there's 1000 ways it could be easier and better. I could go with having the blocks be pastel background with little pop downs at provide info about them and grab bars to prove them around things like that –
I have been using divi which… It's not a choice I would make again except for temporary landing pages which it's perfect for.
of course I'm locked into WordPress for life

I found wayfinder somewhat helpful: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wayfinder/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wayfinder/) but it hasn’t gotten an update in a little bit but maybe it doesnt need it
I’ve tried kadence WP (https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/kadence-blocks/) could be better but you can check it out, maybe it works for you…
Cwicly was built on top of Gutenberg and its developers tried to offer a different experience and a more holistic approach. There was some drama around Cwicly earlier this year, but I think the builder as such was/is very promising and the lead developer is obviously very talented and has a vision. They released it now for free and it is supposed to come to the WP repository. But I don’t know what their future plans are.
If you don’t really need Gutenberg, you can also try Bricks + ACF Flexible Content. Such a workflow has a learning curve, but I like it.

You could check out Spectra. https://wpspectra.com/
Classic editor for quick posts, 100%. Or duplicate a post and just change the text? I think most page builders are generally more complex than Gutenberg.
