As someone who tries to use Gutenberg to make "rich" pages, I disagree. A few weeks ago I was on the verge of emailing Mullenweg directly to ask if he himself uses the editor to write blog posts.
In 3 years they haven't fixed a simple issue like backspace jumping. For example, if you write a paragraph, then backspace to clear it - when the block is fully cleared you jump back to the top of the page rather than the block above it.
In other words, Gutenberg is not native to the editing experience. It's actually laughable how bad it is if you look at something like Ghost[0]. It's day and night difference in editing experience.
Another example is when you start adding "blocks" like CTA buttons and such. Why does the editor need to constantly render those elements in the editor itself? It completely bricks the writing experience. And I tried a lot of things, including switching browsers.
Some of my problems were resolved by removing plugins, but overall I have just decided to use Classic Editor[1]. I can, at the very least, write out the entire article and then switch to Gutenberg to style it the way I like.

It's stupid, but at least it works.
