So, WordPress version 5 comes with this “awesome” new super-stylish Gutenberg editor. I’m not sure if old Mr. Gutenberg would agree – but I personally don’t like that kind of “improvement”.

My goal is to provide meaningful content to my readers. I don’t want to have to struggle to learn how to go about the technicalities of making that content show up on a web page.

Every additional layer of abstraction adds to the complexity, which also goes against my basic main principle of “life should be easy, clean, and fun”.

Just in case you are resisting half-baked change, just for change’s sake, wherever you can – like me – there is a way to get the classic (very easy, clean, and fun) WordPress editor back: all you need is one additional plugin “classic editor” – search for it while logged in to your WordPress admin.

Life is good!
