How Will Gutenberg Affect WordPress Page Builders

Gutenberg has gotten off to a very shaky start, but it seems like it’s here to stay. Hopefully, all the kinks will be ironed out over time.

The next question to consider is how it will affect WordPress page builders, such as the following popular ones:

• Elementor
• Beaver Builder
• Visual Composer

Like it or not, the fact is that Gutenberg will have fast adoption through the practice of forcing it on WordPress users. This will probably put the page builders in a tough spot unless they adopt and morph into something else.

What role do you think the popular page builders will have in the near future? I’d like to hear your thoughts on this topic. Page builder plugins have been big money makers so far, so I’m curious how Gutenberg will affect them.
