Block editor hides tools and adds clicks to posts
Writing a simple post in the block editor takes too many clicks because tools are hidden behind menus, icons and sidebars.

What's going wrong
Writers and bloggers say the block editor makes ordinary posting slow. Formatting options and publishing controls sit behind unlabeled icons, collapsing sidebars and menus that appear only when they feel like it. Several say a task that took seconds in the old editor now takes many steps, and some turned to video tutorials just to publish a post. Developers and agencies also report that the layout is hard to navigate for clients who only want to write text. The gap is a streamlined writing interface that keeps common actions one click away.
