003: The WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg) Has Hurt More Than It Has Helped

In this episode of WP Townhall, we tackle one of the most contentious topics in the WordPress community: Has the Block Editor (Gutenberg) hurt more than it has helped?

The discussion delves into the impact of Gutenberg on the WordPress brand, user experience, development workflows, and the overall direction of WordPress. 

Throughout the show, we explore questions about how Gutenberg has affected workflows, the challenges faced by developers and users, and the ways in which the Block Editor has potentially improved WordPress. The conversation also touches on the future of WordPress with continued Gutenberg development and potential improvements to address current concerns.

We encourage listeners to share their own experiences and opinions through our audience engagement poll and by submitting questions for the panelists. The show concludes with key takeaways from the debate and a brief look at the potential future implications for the WordPress community.

Join us for this thought-provoking discussion that aims to shed light on one of the most significant changes in WordPress history.
