Should You Be Using WP’s Block Editor?
With WordPress 5.0, the new Block Editor (Gutenberg) became the default, replacing the familiar Classic Editor with a drag-and-drop, block-based system.

In this post, we explore the pros and cons of the Block Editor—its simplicity and REACT.js foundation versus its bugs and limited layout options. At Starfire Web Design, we stick to the Classic Editor for its customization power, but whether you choose Gutenberg or not depends on your needs and coding comfort level.
