Perhaps it needs more per-task focus instead of trying to do everything, everywhere, all at once (Pop-culture reference! Get me!! 😉)
It doesn’t seem to use existing design/interface patterns too. Is that because it’s doing new things? I don’t think so. But maybe.
These have been issues for me since the start. I don’t think I’ll ever get over them. I’m not expecting Gutenberg go back to basics & change these things. So I struggle along.
Don’t get me wrong. This is a good path. Complex UI is so hard. It’s just not working for ME!
