Gutenberg for many reasons, is and will be a disaster. This is the cruelest thing they are doing to us to date! Simply said, there is absolutely no need for this useless Gutenberg. At the very least they should give us a simple way (filter) or a setting to turn this disaster off and go on in the business of building websites, with our shortcode buttons and Meta boxes. Gutenberg is not just a new editor, it is a whole new way to configure the edit screens, getting rid of meta boxes, theme options, etc...

For me, Automattic is quickly turning like Microsoft - forcing things on their customers with things they don't want and truly hate. Distraction free useless writing anyone?
