    what the hell is all this

    <!-- wp:paragraph -->

    <!-- wp:heading -->

    <!-- wp:list-item -->

    <!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} -->

    <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->

    On top of the existing <p> elements for example Gutenberg also adds the <!-- wp:paragraph --> how is this helping improve WordPress????

    lol they managed to make it even worse than Avada and Elementor

    at least those builders look more like standard shortcode generators, Gutenberg is adding HTML comments, but the commments are specific to their own application, which is an even worse idea for standardization and usability.

    Gutenberg also changed this:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12345

    To this:

    <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12345","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"align":"center","className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} -->
    <figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio">
    <div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12345</div>
    </figure>
    <!-- /wp:embed -->

    Just incredibly intuitive and user friendly 🙄

    Even just the Post Status function is still difficult in Gutenberg. Changing a post from Published to Draft or Pending, just basic things like that, the UI is impossible imo
