@verdographics, You need to review Gutenberg here.
Hello Andrew,
I will clarify myself :
After using and testing both Gutenberg and Elementor, my conclusion is that Elementor wins the comparison with miles ahead.
Kind regards.
Elementor is a page builder, Gutenberg is an editor. They are not the same.
Orlando, AFAIK this is what Gutenberg wants to be.
Although in the introduction to the Gutenberg editor it is written “Many developers do not understand every document is made up of blocks” I have known for a long time this to be the case, my documents are based on that. Gantry’s thinking is going the same way – except they are called “Particles”.
I understand what Gutenberg wants to achieve, it wants to play with blocks being able to change every block on its own – styles,widgets,whatever.
But then it starts competing with ALL of the other ones out there, on top of that it requires ALL other page builders to follow the BLOCKS created by wordpress.
It also means the freedom wordpress had for years is being coerced other page builders have to follow the blocks of Gutenberg.
That is a problem!

And this is another problem with Gutenberg.Look at the majority of the reviews here. Gutenberg is being referred to as a page builder, because you can construct pages with it using columns and pretty much every element that one needs on a page. If something doesn’t exist in the standard ‘blocks’, one can create it, like other page builders. The problem for Gutenberg is that it does this terribly, and the UX/usability doesn’t seem to have changed in months from what I can see.

Please don’t go down that route! Unless you stick to the topics discussed in the review, you will derail their thread.

Yep, you’re right about Gutenberg wanting to be a builder (it’ll be the second phase)…it may be true in the future, but right now it isn’t; it needs *several* features before it can be considered a full-fledged builder.
@wickywills
Just one thing, usability *has* improved a lot from 2.0.0 to the latest version. I’m not saying is top-notch, but it has certainly improved.
