I've run Wordpress sites for years. And years. I like it, but I suppose that's mainly because I know it so well. I've had few problems with it.

I had a free blockbuilder plugin, this from well before the update of WP to Gutenberg. I've also had a number of plugins over the years that add blocks to the blockbuilder plugin. Three times in three years each of my websites have crashed. My host has said that it is the blockbuilder.

He wiped everything and I have started using Gutenberg with one plugin; Stackable.

It's great. I really like it. Quicker to update a page or build a new one. As many variations as I need.

I'm impressed. It's simple, straightforward and easy for newcomers, but if you was to play with the various features, it's great fun.

I now prefer it to the unnamed blockbuilder.
