Last time I tired it I had big problems with it in base install. Both editors and mandoc were falling short in that regard.
Automattic's position of quite verbally "throwing" Gutenberg at users and developers at any cost just shows a really bad example of business driven FOSS project as a base for commercial product (.org for .com).
A11y is just one of the victims. Other community members creating WordPress based websites, services and plugins (myself included) are mostly thrown overboard as a collateral damage. Either learn react fast and figure Gutenberg out by yourself or maybe we'll let you come back later if and when we get to work at least on some documentation and the well-known issues that affect you. With Gutenberg's extensibility being the biggest and most harming one for WP ecosystem.
So if your provider gives you the access to kvm console you just need to download bsd.rd, add GRUB entry and reboot. Do your install and you're a happy OpenBSD user in the cloud.
In the next step I think I'll automate that process with bash/ansible and autoinstall file.
Yet years passed and we in FLOSS world seem to be stuck in the same place. We're creating more and more overbloated-I-do-it-all-better software than to improve with small drop in solutions. We can see that the only integration efforts are done by replacement of small good tools with crappy rewrite inclusions. Not compilation and redistribution of original small but good software following good old UNIX pipeline philosophy.
Sure, the are projects like suckless keeping up the good work but there is no connection with more mainstream solutions like Ubuntu or KDE. Which instead of serving with experience about UX and stuff do their own rewrites according to their own APIs.
Writing independent GUI applications becomes more and more of a chore. So many different ways of doing simple things to support. Like multimedia keys or even a tray icon. Try to do it for multiple operating ststems: you do macOS, Windows and when it comes to Linux: Unity, Gnome, KDE and there is I think still at least standard X-window way of doing things for others which should work quite fine for other UNIX based open operating systems.
