I've been using wordpress and wordpress.com for over 10 years. Recently, they started to push a new editor called Gutenberg. This editor is supposed to solve a non-existent problem for me, namely, it allows you to place items exactly on the page. I have no intention of doing such layout changes. I want my blog to look uniform. I think people at wordpress are nice people but for some reason they decided to push this new editor too arrogantly, like, with annoying alerts that you cannot turn off.
I tried the new editor and I didn't like it. Most of the things I use are now hidden under menus e.g. I need 3-4 additional clicks for customizing links that I used to do with one click. Editing got too distracting with borders and menus appearing and disappearing randomly.
So I decided to look for alternatives. If they've been less arrogant about pushing it, I would have stayed. The thing is, I doubt that there are any other alternatives as developed as wordpress.com. Any Suggestions? Thanks.
