What does Gutenberg change in WordPress
The sole purpose of the Gutenberg editor is to provide an alternative to the current open text editor, not to mention the difficult-to-remember shortcodes, with an agile and visual user interface (UI). So, unlike the current WordPress editor, you don’t have to:
Import images, multimedia and approved files from the media library or add HTML shortcodes;
Copy and paste links for embeds;
Write shortcodes for specialized assets of different plugins;
Create featured images to be added at the top of a post or page;
In short, Gutenberg doesn’t change how WordPress functions. It does, however, change the way website owners (or creators) interact with it. Instead of a whole lot of shortcodes and meta boxes, you will be using simple blocks.
There are three responses to a piece of design – yes, no, and WOW! Wow is the one to aim for.
