    Same with VC – pages only by default. I’ve only enabled it for one other thing on one website – a pop up. #donthate

    ‘Beaver Builder” and “Site Origin Page Builder” are best of the lot.

    ACF flex content is the closest thing to what I believe a page builder should be. The problem is the interface of building out the page.

    Maybe everyone could agree page builders are useful on a case by case basis? Ideal for some, definitely not for all, and never for people that want to charge for all maintenance…

    Oh, FoxPro. Wrote my first apps in that one.

    I’d argue that visual composer is more overkill than ACF for that.

    BB is better than others regarding shortcodes. Maybe not perfect, but veyr good.

    Doesn’t it just leave the HTML?

    I’d be like ‘sweet I charge per hour to convert all your content’.. $$$sucka

    I agree Roy, that is the current state. The thing is, all these iterations are somehow necessary to get to that result.

    If there was no BB, I wopld probably be using Genesis and Design Palette Pro for all my sites.

    …unless they hated the pagebuilder because it wasn’t what they wanted/I’d promised. Then I’d be obliged to swap it out for them. Wamp wah.
