What

Classic block as a default option | Removing "Convert to Block"

Why

Is there any way to stop the “Convert to blocks” tab from appearing when I use Classic Block? Besides being intrusive (which affects my creative process), it doesn’t make any sense: first, because the Classic Block is a block; second, because if I’m using it it’s because I don’t want to use another one (and I use others when I think it’s necessary).

How

Our moderator proposed a feature request in light of the above issue:

While I personally like using the block editor, I know it can be a challenge for some. Maybe there could be a setting in the Editor Preferences that one could tick to “Always Start with a Classic Block”? That way, people who feel more comfortable working in the Classic environment would already be set up to start writing from the get go when opening the Editor.
