Gutenberg is coming soon to a WordPress Dashboard near you. Are you and your sites ready? This seems to be the main emphasis for this round up post, information on how site-owners, developers, designers and consultant get ready for Gutenberg, most of it geared towards the WordPress 5.0 release when Gutenberg becomes the default editor.
The next main section is the where content creators comment on their experience and in anticipation of Gutenberg. You also find additional posts on Themes for Gutenberg as well as more Blocks plugins that became available in the last couple of days.

Gutenberg for Content Creators
Don’t have time to put a “What’s Gutenberg” blog together or even record a video? Use Morten Rand-Hendrikson’s video: “WordPress Next: Gutenberg and the new WordPress Block Editor” and share it with your clients, editors, admins and everyone else who needs to know about it. Reference it in your newsletter and the footer of you emails. It’s that good.

I'm on the same boat as you. #gutenberg is not ready for primetime.

Interesting point here from @chrislema. I was guilty myself of developing an entire site teaching users how to use #gutenberg. Not to say that was wasted time, but now I'm wondering if I approached it with the best intentions 🤔 https://t.co/smHZQlI6Mm

Anyway. Gutenberg may not be the most perfect thing ever, and it may never be because pleasing everyone is impossible. But based on my personal experience and seeing an entire room of marketers light up during a demo of it tells me we’re on the right track.
