Random question:
Is there anything inherently WRONG with just using the gutenburg block editor? Overall no one is making clear argument for what you CAN'T do with it to build a simple landing page.
I'm looking at these side by side page builder comparison videos on youtube. This guy's accent puts me off a bit... but he does come very close to answering a question I had around the 2:40 mark
(again, hard to understand thru that accent)
If I understood him correctly he is saying that the gutenburg editor is overly simplistic (so far so good) but one very important difference - is that with the gutenburg editor, your theme will override the styling in the editor. So if u are a doofus like me, and you've mangled up the text or fonts or whatever, you can just go into your theme and change it, and your theme (in the case, neve) has your back. The theme styling will override everything else anyway so your'e fine.
That's sounds great to me, I'd rather design my page in the neve sidebar anyway. It's very intuitive to be doing the design there, rather than clunk around with these rows and shit, I can't seem to ever drag and drop as easily as advertised.
RE: "you're kind of commiting to using it"
yeah I didn't know that in the beginning so now I'm having to loop back around and work some stuff out.
- I get it now. The page builders are independent of your theme.cherub

- Gutenburg was Wordpress trying to give all the people who were making sites with 'pagebuilder' add ons the ability to do all of that stuff within Wordpress.webazoot
- But it was/still is a bit of a mess. Not a fan of pagebuilders as you are behoden to whatever companys product you are using. But Gutenberg is not good either.webazoot
