Thank goodness someone from the WordPress team has developed this plugin. Gutenberg is a horrible monster that I want to leave deactivated as long as possible – and so do my clients! 😉

Andrew, my only suggestion – can you simplify it and also make a GLOBAL ON/OFF button?

Those of us who want Gutenberg switched off just need ONE ON/OFF button, we don’t need it per post basis…

This is by far my new favorite plugin. Thank you!

when you put this + this plug-in, gutenberk is atomized. i can trust in the future of wordpress (thanks for the hooks). it was a pity to install gutenberk, but a pleasure to destroy it

yesss :|)

It is frankly insane that Gutenberg is being merged to core, and this is becoming a plugin. I manage over 300 sites, and can guarantee that not a single one of them will work smoothly with the transition to Gutenberg. I am not looking forward to having to test this plugin for actual feature parity with all 300 sites. This is NOT a “ship of theseus”, it is a “ship of feceus”

Living in terror of the release of the new Glutenberg monster. Thank the gods for this plugin author who has the insight to make this plugin.

I can see I’ll be using this plugin all the time. Thank you 🙂

TinyMCE should be the default and Gutenberg enabled with add_theme_support('gutenberg');, just like almost everything else that’s been added to WP over the years.
