I'm also not a fan of Gutenberg, which is why I still use the classic editor... which they make harder and harder to find with each update.

Disable Gutenberg does much the same thing and, unsurprisingly, is a very popular plug-in!

There is no guarantee that this will work for the next years, as the author itself states in the plugin page:
> “I can’t make any promises, but I intend to develop with WordPress for the long-haul. Who knows what the future holds, but the plan is to keep Disable Gutenberg going for many years to come.”
The only official way to use the classic editor is by installing the Classic Editor plugin and WordPress will stop supporting it by the end of 2021.
I prefer Gutenberg, but I will be stuck with this for years for the legacy sites from clients that demand them. I'm not installing it because I want to.
