Description

I don't know if this idea was suggested before so I think Gutenberg feels better on customizer page instead of replacing the editor.

I made an image as example how it should feel:

Thanks for the feedback, @alexvorn2!

If you prefer the old editor, check out the classic editor plugin, which will be the offical tool for restoring the old editor, if you need it.

I absolutely agree that Gutenberg fits well into site customisation, check out this talk by @melchoyce about the next phase of the Gutenberg project.

It's also worth remembering that WordPress 5.0 won't be released until it's ready: that means the block editor is a great experience, there are solid paths for upgrading your existing code to work with it, as well as reliable fallbacks to the classic editor when needed.

I'm closing this issue as Core Trac isn't really the place to have this discussion, but I encourage you to test your existing code and sites with the Gutenberg plugin, and report any bugs you run into over on the Gutenberg issue tracker.
