There is a dramatic change coming to WordPress. In 2018, the world’s most popular Content Management System will have a new editing framework that completely refreshes the user experience. Gutenberg, as it’s named, will transform the model for editing and managing content layouts, and introduce a new structure for content components.
Starting with blocks: Reimagining WordPress with Gutenberg
The block-based architecture of Gutenberg facilitates and simplifies the development of more intuitive enterprise level content creation tools. The block architecture also adds a degree of flexibility at the enterprise level by opening up the WordPress ecosystem to easier integration of objects from the outside world.
