@kev Since I was just reminded of a specific example I need to report, here's what I mean when I say that Gutenberg/Block Editor for WordPress is maddening.

If you are trying to add a block of text to an existing bulleted list in Word or LibreOffice or TinyMCE, the easiest way is to turn the first item into a bullet, then backspace and then hit Enter on each successive element.

In Gutenberg, backspacing a block boundary moves your pointer from the beginning of the paragraph to the end.

It reminds me of Lord i/o's lord.io/blog/2019/text-editing and the sheer number of those frustrating little bugs I manage to trip over, combined with how WP itself will mangle an article if I forget to close a </dd> or </dt> tag when manually inserting a <dl>, is why I'd rather write Markdown or ReST in Vim to blog.

As Ryan T. Harter said, Don't make me code in your text box!
