Classic Editor is my go-to, unless I am in a hurry. Gutenberg does look nicer in design because it is minimalist, but definitely not my cup of tea. I think that the classic editor just has a better workflow where all the buttons are readily available and a lot smoother too. I have not had any issues with Gutenberg, I just prefer not to use it as much.

I once did a course on Gutenberg.  Worked through all of its tools, and they were great tools.  Issue however is that you have to dig deep to find those tools.  They're not spontaneously available.  You have to do a course to find them.  And like with all courses, you quickly forget something, and then have to figure out from scratch again where the tools are.  In fact there are just too many tools and too many locations they can be in.  There is the menu of tools directly above the post window.  Then on top of that menu there is another source of media and other tools.  And then to the right of the post box there are two parallel columns of tools.  And it's not immediately evident there are two columns.  You need a course to figure out there is a second column and what the tools are used for.

So I'd think the greatest drawback for WordPress with Gutenberg is the design of it and the fact it's not user-friendly at all.  Not for beginner users anyway - and it discourages you to use it.  Takes up too much time to search for tools.  So of course it is much easier for users to just install the Classic Editor and have things as they used to be.  Which is what I'm doing.  Together with WordFence and the All-in-One WP Migration tool, it's one of the first plugins I install on WordPress when I start a new installation.
