WordPress 5.0 Release Candidate

Having tested Gutenberg in the past months, I'm not sure it's ready to be the default editor and it's not because bugs or that it constitutes a major UI change that will take time to get used to.

My problem is that the underlying cognitive model that Gutenberg uses - blocks that can be used like lego to create more rich content - makes writing, just writing, more difficult than ever. It's so easy to get lost in creating and fiddling with blocks. Also, blocks hide so much of the underlying HTML, making troubleshooting content issues more difficult. The classic editor hade the same problem in visual mode but at least we could easily turn to HTML mode to debug issues.
