The big problem with 5.0 is that it's not actually ready and they are shipping because of Wordcamp.

There are 152 open issues that they conveniently allocated 1 to 5.0, 28 to 5.0.1 and the rest to future point releases. https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/12/06/5-0-gutenberg-sta...

The introduction of Gutenberg is a huge change and yes if you've been following the development, you're probably ready for the major changes but if you weren't following along you're in for a nasty, buggy, surprise.

100% agree. Gutenberg should not given a public release until it is at least as well formed as the various page builders that are already out there.

"if you weren't following along you're in for a nasty, buggy, surprise. " this scares me and may bring tears. I don't have time to backup all the sites I have with custom themes and plugins.

Hope someone writes a tutorial on how to undo this update, including the database and change over to the class press fork.

Yeah, I think it deleted all my plugins this morning. Yay.
