Really interesting to see the new look in Gutenburg. It looks really clean and nice. Question for the rest of us is when to jump to the new platform.

Very interesting question. A lot of talk about WP keeping the ‘classic editor’ for years to come, and potentially providing security updates only to legacy users.
It is basically a love-hate relationship at present. I feel it is the way forward and now after 850 posts transposed of the 8500, I am getting the hang of it.
Gutenberg has many positive features, and many bugs – which are being ironed out as quickly as they appear. It really feels like a community project.
If you are not happy with the way Gutenberg is going, I suggest holding off the update to 5.0
In the meantime, have a play – lots of good stuff. Might even start a little Gutenberg Diary to keep you in the loop of the new changes when/if you decide to take the leap.
