As long as the content is presented in a linear format, the current WordPress editor is good for creating content posts and adding images and videos.
But, there have been many changes ever since and currently, ‘content block’ system is trending. To keep up with this new trend, many editors were created for WordPress like Elementor, Divi, and Beaver Builder. These options still exist as WordPress hasn’t incorporated the ‘content block’ style, editor. With the Gutenberg editor, this will soon change.
Gutenberg is mainly being constructed to build content blocks easily. This will allow web developers to create themes for content block websites without difficulty. Also, instead of depending on visual editors like Elementor or Beaver Builder, Gutenberg will support such layouts natively. This will greatly cut down website load time and avoid dependency on bulky content block plugins.
Furthermore, Gutenberg will be quite useful for users who want to switch themes. Themes like Divi has content block builders embedded. But if you want to switch themes, it can cause a major problem. Thankfully, with the Gutenberg, themes that don’t support content block will be able to support it without any changes. So you can install any theme you like without having to install third-party add-ons on top of themes.
Another major benefit for Gutenberg is its capacity on mobile devices. Most of the content block plugins don’t work properly on mobile devices. From start, Gutenberg has been designed to work well on mobile devices and to offer the same functionality irrespective of the device used.
In the current stage, Gutenberg has technical issues. It is currently available as a plugin and so far, it has received mixed reviews. The plugin is not advisable for use on live websites as it is in the development stage. If you’re keen to know how it works, play around with it on a
development website.
