It's cool that themes like this are being developed. At the same, I think the approach of trying to shoehorn Gutenberg into the mainstream is a mistake, at least in its current iteration.

As a long-time WP user, the block editor is complicated and difficult for me to use. Admittedly, I haven't messed with it much, probably because every time I have it seems to lack intuitive function and I just feel lost.

As a digital native, long-time WP user, and a user of many blogging platforms....this seems like really really bad UX to me that is going to push people away from WP. It's like Gutenberg was pushed live as the default editor years ahead of when it was ready. From my perspective, it's STILL not ready. If I can't use it....I don't know how your average WP user is expected to use it.

The fact that themes like Ona have to exist on top of the block editor seems to defeat the whole point of the block editor in my opinion. Like....if we still have to use themes, then why even have a block editor? WP seems to be trying to re-create Elementor, or Divi, or WP Bakery, and they are doing such a terrible job that the existence of themes like Ona are still required.
