Every time a current version of WordPress goes out, everyone is excited to operate with its new features. However, some past versions have earned as much buzz about them as the WordPress 5.0 because of its new block-based editor – also known as the Gutenberg.

If you have been working with WordPress for a while now and felt too comfortable with its old editor, then it’s time to feel uncomfortable again. Gutenberg is absolutely a bold leap by WordPress and it’s not the only update they have come up with.

Intuitive Experience

WordPress now focus on moving towards a more intuitive website-building experience. Currently, WordPress already leads in terms of market share and by improving its building functionality, they aim to hold that market share against the increase of hosted website builders today.

Better WordPress Rest API

WordPress has also made improvements on its Rest API. The WordPress Rest API supports developers to build more feature-rich products by making it simpler to send and pull out data from your website. With this update,  developers can efficiently create applications working the platform as their framework.

Faster Builder

Building custom themes have now made super easier. Before the update, you would need at least a simple development knowledge in order to put together a WordPress theme. Now, with Gutenberg, WordPress theme creation is much more accessible.
