I have been developing websites since 1994 and I have been using Divi since it came out a decade ago with version 1.0. Criticism of it has always been rampant, but I think the developers have always recognized the problems of aging code and always did a solid job addressing it. EVERY tech project ages and needs to change. This happens with operating systems, with all apps and even with WordPress itself.

The truth is, as good as Gutenberg is, it's still in flux. When it settles down and fixes it's biggest annoyances, I'll start building Gutenberg sites, too.

But I'm still VERY happy with Div and expect to be happier with Divi 5.0.
