    I have been a WordPress developer for several years. Just 3 years ago I used Elementor, Divi... And I will never go back to it. If someone is a real developer (not one whose skills end with installing a dozen or so plugins and clicking them), then he knows that Elementor or Divi clutter and slow down the website. Performance tests are weak with these builders. You always need to install other plugins to speed up the page. Not so with Gutenberg. For my projects, I write my Gutenberg blocks using React. The way in which assets are loaded is similar to modern applications (we only load styles and js of the blocks we use). Every page made this way scores 90+ on Google PageSpeed Insights tests (without any caching plugin). I have the impression that all 'developers' want a tool that they can click on anything. When creating a page, you don't need a lot of widgets, a lot of meaningless options. It is enough to encode what is in the graphic design and that's it.

    Been doing this for while, 2010 to be exact, so I’ll weigh in with my two cents. We usually build sites with ACF and php templates, but recently we had a client with a large project who needed Elementor and JetEngine sites. It’s honestly been the worst experience of my career as a developer. I’m sure these page builders have there place when you need to build a site quickly on a limited budget, but for large serious projects I just don’t think they’re appropriate in my opinion. Too many plugin conflicts, and you just end up with a very bloated difficult to maintain project. Never again. Get as close to native Gutenberg as possible, that would be my advice.

    Clean code is semantically correct code that is accessible out of the box. If spaghetti code that is accessible and could be refactored a bit is clean, that is subjective. Most page builders are just money printing machines that try to argue, that you don't need to code to achieve everything. That is why Gutenberg will will in the long term. Regarding Elementor - if you are a non coder and rely on Elementor without optimizing it - then your website won't be 100% accessible. This is just a no go for a page builder with so many active users. Most page builders suck below the surface and you can't use components without a mouse. This is just stupid. And it's also stupid that there are still "I'm a WordPress Developer" Persons out there with "10 years of experience" that have no clue what :focus-visible means or what ARIA is. Hell no. Good old stupid influencer world where everyone gets the most provisons for tools/plugins with the badest code. This is wordpress at the moment.

    I was waiting for this as well in the video. I previously used Elementor, it's a great interface don't get me wrong. Very easy to use. But only if you're building a landing page or something relatively small. Once you start adding more and more content, the site speed is ridiculously slow. Most people are complaining about this, so I've started using Gutenberg. My only issue with it is the limited options, it's quite frustrating.

    I had a similar experience when transitioning from Elementor to Kadence and Kadence Blocks. Once I got used to their row and column model, I found the user experience and speed to be truly satisfying. However, my personal issue with Gutenberg is that I prioritize speed and struggle with the constant influx of new options. Every few months, there seems to be a new page builder like Bricks, Cwicly, Gutenverse, or Greenshift, and I feel like I can never specialize. Plus, I still feel nostalgic about Elementor and keep up with their updates to see if they've finally optimized their code base to work seamlessly with Gutenberg.

    A little clarification. The main Gutenberg editor + FSE that comes with WP core is different from third party Gutenberg page builders. Even though people who use those third party Gutenberg page builders claim to use Gutenberg, but in reality. They are using just another page builder that layers on top of the WP core. The Gutenberg core is horrible, I don't think anyone can use it to build pages. Hence the reason developers created third party "Gutenberg" Page builders to improve on core. Since these developers have to maintain the flow and keep things as close to the Guttenberg core as possible, it makes these page builders hard to use. Gutenberg page builder users argue that it builds fast site. But, I think I am better of using a proper page builder like Elementor. I will not trade its flexibility for a few milliseconds of load time.

    Page builders like Elementor, Divi, Brizy, etc. are mostly used for creative and special designs and beautiful websites! However, the main battle among websites is SEO and speed and having more customers to make more money, not just the beautiful design!!! So, Gutenberg is too enough for these goals. But not Gutenberg itself individually. An addon like Kadence Blocks, Generate Blocks, etc. is required to have a better experience while using Gutenberg.

    Elementor can create some horribly unoptimized sites. Using Gutenberg, you can pretty much always run it on the cheapest $2/month hosting plan you can find. I've seen hundreds of sites go from loading in well over 5 seconds to less than a second just by disabling elementor. On a decent hosting plan, Gutenberg sites should load in about half a second. So on low tier hosting plans, which tons of clients prefer since they don't understand what hosting is or why they need it, Elementor is not good. On a decent plan though, it's not a big deal.

    interesting video. my opinion is the opposite, though. I agree that Gutenberg editor is currently kind of minimalistic but the foundation is solid and it produces very clean output. it doesn't seem to aggressively try to replace page builder. but Gutenberg-based page builder is currently possible. the best example is cwicly, it turned the gutenberg experience into a webflow-like builder. Divi, one of major pagebuilder will also adopt gutenberg in the upcoming version as much as i like Bricks builder, in my opinion Gutenberg is the future. it is and will remain the standard way to build page in WP.

    Gutenberg is definitely ahead of his time. He is a visionary publisher. Content you do in a text editor you copy and paste into Gutenberg and it's perfect. No headaches. I used to use Divi and when I took the opportunity to migrate to GeneratePress + Gutenberg it radically changed the way I make websites with WordPress. Lightweight sites that load in less than 2 seconds without having to be an expert in optimization. It has improved a lot and is certainly far from intuitive, but it's basic. What you want to do you figure out quickly. I'd 100 times rather work in Gutenberg than Divi or Elementor. Let alone WP Bakery which is hell.

My experience with Gutenberg made it challenging to understand GeneratePress layouts and patterns, which are not very intuitive. However, I eventually figured out how to create what I want with Gutenberg + GeneratePress + GenerateBlocks, and the Estatik plugin for Real Estate. Honestly, if you're new to this, consider starting with Breakdance or Bricks and stick with one to gain experience.

    @@Perpetuallearner1 I've done several tests with Elementor, both on a server and locally, and every time I clicked, I had to wait about 9 minutes for the action to execute. I don't understand how people work with it. If you're just starting out, I recommend trying Bricks and Breakdance (developed by the same team behind Oxygen Builder and more user-friendly). Both seemed excellent to me. Some time ago, I saw a benchmarking of Gutenberg builders, and Astra + Spectra turned out to be very heavy. I can attest to this because I used them before. In that benchmarking, GeneratePress + GenerateBlocks was the best, and I've worked with it before (Kadence and Blocksy are also good). The challenge was that it took me a while to get the hang of GenerateBlocks. If I created a section from scratch, it looked bad on responsive. However, if I used a pattern similar to what I wanted and then edited it, it looked good on responsive. It’s not intuitive, but once you understand how it works, you can recreate any design you like. I don't know if Kadence Blocks is easier and just as lightweight (the same with Stackable), but I've invested so much time in this that I continue working with GeneratePress + GenerateBlocks. However, if I were starting now, I would go for Bricks or Breakdance.

    For the vast majority of websites, you don't need Elementor, Divi or any other page builder. Gutenberg or the block builder are just fine. Page builders add so much bloat. Using a decent theme like Kadence and pro plugin are sensible options (but there are other good block themes and plugins) with dynamic content and many features. Crocoblock is getting better for Gutenberg. Elementor and page buiders are never going away and they are a lot of fun but you really don't need them for most websites.

    I think the main issue is that Gutenberg is still not a proper visual builder. Even with advanced addons (such as Cwicly, Spectra, The Plus Blocks, etc.), you have to keep the front page open and refresh it every time to check that the work you did on the backend is accurate on the frontend. Unfortunatelly, many times it is not coherent at all, especially when optimizing for mobile. Till Gutenberg is not developed to reach at least the level of the main frame visual builders, it does not stand a chance. Moreover, they are new tools outside such as Bricks and Breakdance for example.

    Maybe highlight for new users, Blocks are fully integrated with WP and directly viewable, where Elementor grants you with a white blank page and an edit in Elementor button that flies you to another planet, completely disconnected from WP. Buy Elementor Premium will Grant you no, Zero, zippo, null, none support help whatsoever. You might as well shout out the window. Conclusion: drop page builders and focus dev into block themes and full integration with WP. Understand that arguments in favour of page builders come from people heavily invested into this other planet. That doesn’t mean new to WP should take this detour. Where WP focus should be is perfection of blocks, templates and parts. Enforce a generic compliance code for plugins such as where backend menus go, no adds, no bloat, no noise and mess. And finally redesign WP backend, cause it’s so f’in antique and old school that WP loose next gen massively.

    Gutenberg tries to be both simple (for beginners), universal (for anyone), efficient (for code-heads and SEO people), and extensible (for unique needs), as well as accessible and future-proof. It's hard to be all things to all people. But if you choose one good set of Gutenberg add-ons, you can do a lot with it.

    It's frustrating to use a page builder like Elementor that can't even release a stable basic flexbox container. The Loop Builder also falls short in terms of functionality, and overall most of the features feels incomplete. Not to mention, the performance leaves much to be desired. It's difficult to have confidence in a tool like this for professional use. It's concerning that there isn't more discussion about the significant issues with Elementor and Divi, as it can make it difficult for users to make informed decisions about which tools to use. In contrast, Gutenberg paired with the right theme or plugins seems to be a more reliable choice for professionals.

    This is not an apple to apple comparison. PageBuidlers like Elementor and Divi try to transform WordPress into something like Wix and Jimdo. This is to make money out of WordPress which is otherwise free and force users into subscription plans. Just an example: Elementor is free in a basic version but to do more complex things like HTML styling etc. you have to pay. Designers making websites generate really hard to maintain websites because they will set padding etc. for every element and Elementor will support this. On the other hand Gutenberg is made by programmers so it facilitates making websites using stylesheets etc. that are much easier to maintain. That's why it is much more difficult to create something like Gutenberg that is based on templates and styles.

    Most of the blocks are pointless, its not imo easy to use. It also has really messy code, the HTML comments idea is not ideal. Imo it easier to learn HTML and CSS than Guts. If I put a client in front of classic or lets say WPBakery, most will get it, but I think the folks driving Guts dont build websites. It seems like a car made by a person who does not drive.

As for adding Kadence, it's unfortunate your designer said no, but there are still plenty of ways to improve your editing experience. You can explore Gutenberg's features further or try out other plugins and tools to enhance your workflow. Keep experimenting, and don't hesitate to reach out if you need any help along the way!

    Gutenberg - From the consumer side (I personally work with all of it) it lacks a visual glue that the novice can attach logic. Gutenberg sorta just sits in air and assumes that over time you will learn the floating magic as to where everything is. I know it is very plain in it's approach and streamlines code without bloat but some will choose to balance that.

    The main problem i see: they mix wordpress core functions with gutenberg... so the widgets are now blocks, the header, the footer and more. One of next features will be the translation feature that only works with gutenberg blocks. The day will come where they switch to 100% javascript... For me, gutenberg is the end of wordPress. Most of the developers work with php... and react developers really hate wordPress, they don't like to work with that.

    On most of your Word Press Theme Website Builder Tutorials (I actually took one) you promote links that you promote to bring in a purchase for a specific theme. For example on your Divi Theme Website builder video on minute 18:03 you give the option to use the link that Divi gave you to promote; furthermore, you say you own the lifetime membership. This ofcourse does not mean that Gutenberg is less than these other purchased and promoted (by you tube influencers) Themes, but it does mean you have a conflict of interest in this matter because you have done bussiness with the paid Theme.

    Absolute ridiculous video which really comes off as desperate to make Gutenberg look terrible which is no longer true. In my opinion this is because he’s very much into the Elementor ecosystem and trying to sell his services on that. If anybody has the patience and half a brain you can create any type of website using Gutenberg especially when you use a great theme like Kadence. I’ve easily created and cloned websites away from Elementor and I haven’t had any problems since which in the end has massively gotten rid of Elementor killing my sites and creating massive graphical problems as well as having loads of problems with buggy updates and editor pages not loading.
