Just over 7 years ago, Gutenberg was “born“. Congrats to Matías Ventura for that initial commit and the 1,099 contributors for achieving this milestone. Hopefully the new Props Bot will bring significantly more credited contributors over the next year such that we’re celebrating and even more successful 8th birthday next year!

Complaints on Gutenberg rarely include alternatives
I understand the people who feel that Gutenberg does not serve the best interests of the WordPress community, but my concern is that I rarely hear a “I think we should be working on *OTHER REALLY BIG THING* instead”. If you are going to critique the WordPress core development roadmap, then please offer alternatives.
Disclaimer: I disagree that Gutenberg only serves Automattic or other large hosting players in the WordPress ecosystem. As it evolves, I feel that it will enable easier site and content editing compared to the current set of WordPress capabilities and that very much serves a large swath of current (and hopefully future) WordPress consumers.
