To be honest, I wasn’t paying much attention after the announcement of Gutenberg back in 2010.
I never had any dramatic impacts by CKEditor embedded in the WordPress admin panel. I still think it’s one of the best examples of UI/UX text editors on the Web.
The whole development process caught my attention due to React licensing issue that got the Internet buzzing about for couple of months. Eventually, Facebook changed it.
And then I saw this video on the future of WYSIWYG editor. Gutenberg’s impact on the WordPress ecosystem will be a game-changer.

This is huge! The whole ecosystem will change its standards of writing plugins/themes. The concept of expanding viewports going beyond the classical monitor resolution, including wearables and other portable devices.
Block architecture. Enough with spoilers, just watch the video.
