The [1]WordPress folks decided a new post editing metaphor, one copied
  from many other services, is the future of WordPress. It's called
  Gutenberg with no sense of irony or semblance of modesty.

  I am playing with Gutenberg in case I might like it or find value in
  it.

  At face value, there's an audience for Gutenberg that is not me. It
  takes the pieces of Medium with which I disliked interacting and used
  them to replace the fine tuned control of my content in WordPress'
  admittedly 90's era editing interface.

  My content is not toy blocks.

  WordPress' marketing on this move is markedly tone deaf. There is
  nothing from Matt & the team that actually explains what problem they
  endeavor to solve with the change.

  The thing is, the current editing metaphor is easy to understand. It's
  not sexy. It works. There is room for improvement, especially in
  removing formatting. For example, I have on particular iOS integration
  that makes quoting content look terrible. I have to manually edit the
  HTML to clear it out. Posting tight, clean HTML (and CSS and …) should
  be goal #1 assuming content is king.

  Anyway, please stay tuned to what happens here. I am running the test
  for a spell.
