A step forward in the right direction

While still early days, I was really pleased with the use experience of the new editor and I’m really curious to see how this will be extended for custom post types and things like WooCommerce.

The general edit UI is much smoother than the current editor, the side panels work better and look much more modern and crisp, so I hope this can set the trend for other aspects of the admin UI too.

Drag-and-drop for blocks and multi-column seem like obvious omissions, but the blocks feature has the potential to transform the way we build WordPress themes. Looking forward to see how it evolves.
