Editorial experience is the most important aspect of a Content Management System. Editor’s rating to a CMS solely depends on the ease of content editing and management. 

As a developer, I understand the importance of providing best possible features to ease out the editor's job of creating and editing content. While I was working on moving my blog site from Wordpress to Drupal 9, I faced a similar challenge of having the best editing experience.
