It's so rare to watch a youtube video these days that doesn't spend half the video talking about everything but the main topic in a pathetic effort to get more minutes of watch time. Thanks for not wasting my time.

[FernandoArbex]

I'm impressed that now it's getting more granular control over the elements. That will attract more advanced users for sure and more beautiful designs will emerge.

[zrinxmf]

It's great to hear that WordPress is continually improving its platform to make it more accessible and user-friendly. I'm looking forward to learning more about the new features and improvements in this release. Thanks for sharing this exciting news, Adam!👍

[chadbarney]

Thanks Adam and great timing! I'm pumping the breaks on a couple of projects. Looking forward to your Pros and Cons video tomorrow. Very interested in your take on this.

[persimmonpudding]

This was incredibly helpful for someone that doesn't want to revert back to the classic editor but is struggling to find the right theme for the block editor.

[fitnessrefocus]

I've been using Beaver Builder since 2015 and still love it. Thank you for sharing the update about WP 6.2 but I don't think I'll be switching to the new block builder because I don't think it's as intuitive as my favorite page builder.

[adeolaalabi]

Love it, just switched to a block based them yesterday, and its so extensible and customisable.

[webcare_live]

Thank you for sharing this insightful video on WordPress 6.2! As a long-time WordPress user, I'm thrilled to see the platform evolving to make website building even more streamlined and efficient.

I also appreciate the valuable information you've shared about the Spectra theme. It's clear that this theme offers a lot of potential for creating truly stunning and engaging website experiences.

Keep up the great work!

[KMSorifulIslamAdnan]

Great news and a great addition. Now building websites with the block editor going to be more easy and fun.

[RR-okwz]

Wow, this is actually quite impressive. After watching your video, I'm much more inclined to use the block based theme editor, depending on the site, of course.

[toddwmac]

Thanks Adam. I like the direction WP is headed. UI extensibility @ the block/module level is huge. Combine that with with the rise of almost flawless "robocode" generation and transformation, and the WP world definitely changes almost overnight. It will be fun to watch how the eco system responds. Now, if WP gave us an easy way to hook into the block UI and drive it programmatically, every thing really changes. "Hey [fill in your favorite programming AI], modify the center top image block to spin when I mouse over it but only on Mondays." We can almost do that today, and we will be doing it in the near future. Appreciate you content.

[vjdevkar]

Thanks for keeping us informed about all the exciting changes coming to WordPress! I'm sure it will inspire designers and developers to be more creative and innovative with their website designs.

[kmanikin]

Thanks for the overview. Some sites just don't need heavy Elementor-type editors. I look forward to seeing your theme recommendations.

[kingof]

Honestly, being able to work this smoothly right within WP is a breath of fresh air

[rev.pattysacredwalkhome]

Thanks Adam for this great update. Yes, I am going to dive in to the new block editor.

[nikasiradze]

Thanks for this video. It won't change the experience of Elementor Pro or some other editors because we have more freedom in Elementor; in block-based editors, we seem to be more limited, so I can't get used to it. But overall, this new theme and editor is excellent for simple websites and non-elementor guys :D

[tobiaslofi]

Thanks I had given up following WordPress years ago and I hadn’t seen or heard anything about this very interesting new direction!

[MatthewSeligman]

I like the Fluid Typography and some of the menu controls (logo in center) but from first glance the interface seems like many more clicks than with Elementor.

[EricBright]

It's always a pleasure to learn from the "master". I have discovered a ton of tricks I didn't know before. Thanks.

[pritisarwade]

Thanks for the amazing insights as always, Adam!
