I think we have to differentiate between Gutenberg alone and Gutenberg with addon plugins. For me, in the second case it's not Gutenberg anymore because Generate Blocks, Kadence, Stackable, Spectra, Greenshift, Cwicly... all have their own solution that are not compatible with each other and which partly imprisons you. Almost 5 years later after the advent of Gutenberg, it is unfortunate that we still have to rely on complementary solutions to make a basic professional site.

I still don't understand the difference between page builders like Bricks or Elementor and Gutenberg and additional plugins that "extend" (almost replace) Gutenberg to page builder level. In my opinion it all boils down to the same thing in the end.

Gutenberg is not on the same level as the builders you mentioned. While Elementor is a page builder, Bricks, on the other hand, is more like a Website Builder... It allows you to create your site from the ground up and you have complete control over every little detail. Bricks is a theme, so you don't need an extra plugin and it's extremely fast and powerful. Where Bricks will really shine is if you work with a lot of dynamic data and custom post types. You can create a really powerful web app with Bricks. I used to recommend Oxygen builder for building powerful sites, but the developers haven't got their priorities straight, so henceforth, it's Bricks or Webflow.

We have just rebuilt our website with Blocksy theme free and Stackable free (definitely abandoning Elementor). It has been spectacular, fast, easy to understand and we ended up with the website we wanted and very fast loading. We need the Dynamic and Conditional Data etc features that come with the PRO version. Now let's go! But before that it is very difficult to decide between: GeneratePress and GenerateBlocks Kadence and KadenceBlock Blocksy and Stackable or Greenshift... I'm drunk with so many possibilities. Cwicly was impossible for me to understand and was very slow to build...

I am considering not continuing my yearly Elementor pro grandfathered 1000 site per year license. Why? Because a recent Wordpress update clashed with it and I lost functionalities of at least one client site that requires the pro plugin. Now, seeing even with the pro license it can become incompatible causing many issues, yet the free Elementor still prevailed. I am now using an Elementor Plugin detector to view my sites to see where I used pro plugin features. What I see is most I build with are the basic free features anyway. Only here and there do I have the pro plugins being used at certain parts of the sites. So my future thought is to not use Elementor pro due to having WP update issues where it self-deletes and then I have to go to FTP to delete the upload THEN re-upload the pro plugin yet pay for this added pro plugin that seems to be giving me more issues than it's worth (these days anyway). Just not sure how well these free block page builders look and or how to get use to building with them since I am acclimated to Elementor now. And of course using the free Elementor builder still seems solid so just letting pro go is a 1st option.

I'm buying Bricks Builder, but in the long run, I feel Gutenberg will be better. I'm learning more PHP, so I'm hoping that'll allow me to do nearly everything I want to. Cwicly, Bricks, and Gutenberg is what I'll be working on from now on. Bricks claims that we can edit their pages in Gutenberg and vice-versa, don't know how that works but I'm curious to try that out.

That's a fair comment. This was less about should you and more about could you. If you're handing off to clients, then maybe a set of custom blocks could help the process. Working in Gutenturd alone isn't the best experience for sure. But, the speed benefits are worth it for me. However, with the likes of Bricks, you have some great options for still using PB's. It's a great time to be building websites with WordPress! ;)

Hey Paul, thanks for the video, I love how succinctly you go over all these different approaches. As far as building custom blocks, have you looked into Tangible Blocks at all? Both Lazy Blocks and Genesis Custom Blocks require you to build your block with PHP, but Tangible Blocks uses its own templating language that has a lot of the same capabilities but a noob like me can learn it in a couple hours and be building totally custom blocks like the pros. It's certainly not no-code (it's basically like writing HTML), but it's an innovative solution that makes queries and conditional logic and stuff WAY more approachable. As a bonus, it simultaneously creates the same block in Gutenberg, Beaver Builder, and Elementor, so you can switch page builders down the road and not lose your work. I think at the moment it has big potential for agencies who want to quickly build custom blocks to hand off to their clients without needing to learn PHP/React, but I think there's also a case to be made for WP DIYers to get a lot more flexibility without needing to learn PHP. Anyway, thought that might interest you.

Let me know if you ever want to give Tangible Blocks a try, I'd be happy to show you around. The interface at the moment is a bit 'raw' in that it gives the user super powerful tools but doesn't really guide them toward understanding just how much this can change their site-building workflow.

Here's one ridiculous thing that keeps me from using Gutenberg or themes like Kadence: the list views and setting menus on the left and right affect the element widths on the canvas, and hence the entire layout. This happened in Elementor, and some genius made a plugin that let the element menu float over the canvas, so it wasn't cramming its way onto the real estate of my layouts. If I want to see how things really look, I'm either working on two tabs or constantly closing the menus to get an accurate view of things. I haven't found a fix for it, but Bricks doesn't smoosh up my layouts every time I have something open, so Bricks wins for me. Is there something I'm missing?

But the Generate blocks mainly shows the premium blocks which brings up the same issue like the main page builders. If you don't keep up the many yearly subscriptions, your client's sites lose site functionalities only the pro licenses allow. Subscriptions are getting way out of hand as you build to make nice sites but then you the web developer have to continue all these subscriptions to upkeep your client sites; well after they paid you to build it. Unless we can convince clients to pay a yearly fee to maintain their sites even if they are not on a monthly plan is a must. Or all these builders and add-ons are not worth it.

While I can appreciate the intent of exploring this as an option with an open mind, I believe considering this route to a solution needs to embrace a wide degree of observations to be objective. Therefore, before making such a comparison in general between a page builder and a block builder, some important distinctions must be considered. I think you have to decide "how" you want to invest your time, your money and the future of the site you are building. Yes, some of these block level editors may feel less intimidating up front but in the long run what have you got? You STILL are going to make a significant time and financial investment that you need to compare the end result for. A page builder such as Bricks has some strong advantages that can't be ignored. One such is the cost overall. You can still purchase an LTD right now for less than $200 ($79 for one site). These block builders are re-occurring pricing models. These block builders don't seem to have the strength of a class styling system to globally change design styling like a proper page builder. If you know what I mean by the use of classes to style the content, then you are possibly above the common experience level. In the hands of the less experienced especially, you can easily end up pushing pixels about to create a cookie cutter result in many cases. Now scale the creation and management of a site to more than one person in a site project and potential issues are easily created in terms of consistency and ubiquity., not to mention future changes down the road. Building a site this way can easily involve more than basic numbers of plugins to achieve the desired outcomes in many of the cases. This can effect stability, interoperability and performance. A solution like this can be a non-starter in some cases because of the dynamics involved. There is also the consideration in some cases of the resulting performance. Maybe a "home blog" this is not as important as running a business or profit center with the site. How does the solution scale down the road? How easily can it be maintained - especially by more than one person? I think it's very important to acknowledge that comparing block builders to page builders (just coin a phrase here), is not an overall "apple to apples" comparison. There are always going to be tradeoffs and they can be very important. I would recommend careful consideration before going this route. No I don't work for the Bricks developers and I get no financial consideration for my opinions)
@WPTuts

Most of the points raised could apply to both methods of building sites. Plus, page builders encompass many tools and using a sweeping statement about costs while pointing out Bricks current Ltd doesn’t prove a fair comparison. For example, Greenshift had an Ltd recently, but that’s not the point if the topic in this video. Regarding the class system, the likes of GenerateBlocks and Cwicly have this integrated into the core of the software. Another negative for page builders is that they generally do not have core compatibility as they override WordPress to a lesser or greater degree. All things being equal, these are all tools to achieve a result. Choosing the right ones is more important than saying one type of tool is superior to the next one. But, the whole point of this video and the topic is to spark debate. So, thank you for adding your thoughts to the conversation. 👍😁

Another example proving that gutenberg is not even half baked nearing the end of 2022 - almost clickbait to say "Leaving WordPress Page Builders for Gutenberg | Possible?" - and show without a page builder, just use gutenberg and wordpress, but add special plugins or/and special themes to do basic things like flexbox. More proof that gutneberg should never have been in core. I tried not long ago to remake a site using base gutneberg and ended needing to add generate blocks just to get some containers and padding. Sadly we are stuck with the guten-bloat - and an even more fragmented community of designers and maintainers now that we need even more plugins to do the basic things that free page builders could do with WP free years ago. Thanks for the extra proof!

Love you. Hate Gutenberg as a page builder. Only use it for blog posts. Elementor has its issues but it’s far more intuitive and I can actually see what I’m doing as I’m working. Also, I’ve never found it difficult to optimize Elementor speed to really high performance. Other than it’s inherent speed, Gutenberg just isn’t close to being at Elementor’s (or other visual page builder) level.

Yes, if you can build a proper website with Gutenberg without any additional 'block plugins'.

So, instead of using a Page builder, use a Multipurpose Theme and start installing plugins for every modification you need to do. Nope...

Where exaxtly did I suggest that? The video breaks things down into several scenarios and provides options for EACH scenario. Of which, the suggested tools were a theme (which you have with most page builders) and a block level tool. That was it? It's also worth bearing in mind, if you want to use a page builder like Elementor, you will rarely ONLY use Elementor. Want dynamic options - at least one plugin (usually several to handle conditional logic, many basic features that are not covered in Elementor). This whole idea that you can do everything with a page builder is a myth unless you are creating relatively simple sites.

I like your realistic view, but I have to disagree with the first 3 minutes. Although fine tools, there's no flexibility whatsoever. However, I get this might be a matter of perspective.

That’s fine Joe, we all have opinions and videos like this are created to spark a conversation. I’m curious why you feel there’s no flexibility though? Sure, a theme will always have limitations, but the initial few minutes are all about really simple sites and not something you want infinite design control over. That’s what the subsequent sections move towards. 😉

​@WPTuts it's very easy to use why wouldn't you use it? I'm still exploring all options for building sites. I like Kadence, trying to learn Bricks. Breakdance pricy but seems easy but I don't know all the different functions they do or don't have..

I tried Elementor once. I hated I had to install something to build a template. Along came Gutenburg and Full Site Editing. I use it exclusively now. It's got the basics and that's all I need.
