Basically Wordpress without Gutenberg. Developers of Wordpress created a fork of WP...

I don't understand the hate on Gutenberg. Many template developers have greatly enhanced their works with Gutenberg.

Not to mention,

https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/

so, meh. No controversy.

I am old-school Joomla but have moved over to Wordpress due to third-party support migrating their plugins over to Wordpress. I am hoping that Joomla 4 may be awesome again.
 
Gutenberg is awesome from the little I have played with it

Gutenberg was seriously bad back in December/Jan, so many things were broken.
Now though, Gutenberg is pretty nice, not refreshing the page on save is something Wordpress should have had ages ago.
 
theres alot more to this than just gutenberg. the one fact that it is built into the core of wp where the majority of devs did not want it in the first place - wp is 'community' based. the stakeholders were pushing for gutenberg and it was rushed. Matt also had alot to gain by his other company with gutenberg release. so now it seems that wp is no longer a community based cms but the descisions are made by a few elite. gutenberg is not great, there are way better builders and installing the classic plugin does not remove gutenberg but hides it - thats all. you still have it built into the core code. the roadmap is to make the whole backend block based with gutenberg with most devs are fighting against because of the unnecessary code added - bloat. classicpress which is wordpress, is aimed at businesses, stripping away useless code.
 
we will just have to wait and see where wp and cp head. with over 5million active installs of classic plugin, you can see that the vast majority dont want gutenberg.
