_s VS gutenberg

Compare _s vs gutenberg and see what are their differences.

_s

Hi. I'm a starter theme called _s, or underscores, if you like. I'm a theme meant for hacking so don't use me as a Parent Theme. Instead try turning me into the next, most awesome, WordPress theme out there. That's what I'm here for. (by Automattic)

gutenberg

The Block Editor project for WordPress and beyond. Plugin is available from the official repository. (by WordPress)

  • Why Everyone Hates WordPress
    3 projects | dev.to | 12 Feb 2024
    The meteoric rise of plugins like Advanced Custom Fields (which is still an excellent plugin and serves it’s purpose very well), and page builder Themes like Divi, was a result of a gap in WordPress’s page editing abilities. And while these things may have been absolutely necessary in the past, with the introduction and integration of Gutenberg into WordPress core, that is no longer the case.

    b2 was the precursor of WordPress and developed in 2001. It used PHP and MySQL but was not so successful (only 3000 blogs until 2003). WordPress appeared the first time in 2003 as a fork of b2, version 1.0 was in development until January 2004. WordPress has since been improved many times through updates.
