I know for a fact that the majority of authors are huge fans of offering a lot of options because they think this is the way to make their customers happy. In the end, one size doesn’t fit it all, and we, as WordPress authors need to assume certain decisions and let users focus on what they know best. On top of that, I firmly believe that a WordPress website should avoid adding a plugin with endless features and layouts possibilities. Sometimes, they even overwrite theme features or force their way in (this can also be stated about the WordPress themes overpassing plugins features, but this is another discussion that we’ll delve into another time). All these elements can’t create a reliable environment, especially when these plugins need to interact with a dozen of WordPress themes (which are different in so many regards). It’s not about the buildingīut let’s face it. However, Visual Builders developers began to have a wrong approach when they included every possible feature on this planet, every type of layout, and also a wider range of elements such as grids, galleries, sliders, tabs, videos, maps, etc. The list is way longer, believe me. In the end, they are meant to allow adding custom layouts to create unique designs. They always aimed to improve the user experience regarding editing content. I don’t want to assume that Visual Builders are wrong. The editor makes no exception, and inside the Post edit page tons of visual builder plugins have already started to take the place of the classic WordPress editor. In the WordPress community, nothing goes exactly as planned since developers take their time to create and extend functionalities as far as they want to.
