I actually don't mind Gutenberg, but I fucking hate how I have to do everything with buttons and interfaces and all the paid half baked plugins I have to either spend a week developing myself or pay 40 dollars a month just to Access it for a year in a single domain or site and have to make botched multi language multi site networks that can't even effectively share a theme and an awful theme that I was told was good but I can't even set a fucking sidebar so I go into the fucking theme folder and MODİFY TBE FUCKİNG THEME MFSELF FUCK J SHOULD'VE JUST USED HUGO

Yeah, me too. Everything is a subscription nowadays, I hate it just so much.

Interesting, I tried the migrator plugin on my basic 2 page site and none of my plugins or theme are compatible with ClassicPress. It wants me to drop all the way back to the 2017 base theme.

Great for a new site I suppose.

I think it's maybe not for everyone nor suitable for every project. But I think it's a cool idea and maybe i will use it for rather conservative projects.
