Want to use and/or not use the new Block Editor (Gutenberg) according to your needs?
Guten Free Options provides this for your WordPressed Burger err I mean Editor.
Guten Free Options allows you to smoothly transition your writing experience to WordPress 5+ by giving you full control over when a post should be edited with the Classic Editor or Block Editor… plus have a button to easily switch between them like other page builders.
With this plugin you can set the default editor to be used at ANY level, and more specific levels will override the previous ones – but only if they are set (similar to how cascading stylesheet inherit rules.)
This means complete flexibility – defaults for multisite networks, single sites, any user role, author preference, as well as being able to easily set default requirements for different custom post types and post templates, and then also switch over or override for individual posts as needed. Here is the list of possible options (in order):
<ul>
<li>Network Default – for Multisite if plugin network activated</li>
<li>Site Editor Default – set the base editor default for the site</li>
<li>User Role Defaults – set a default editor for each role</li>
<li>User Selection – optional default editor per user via profile</li>
<li>Post Type – set a default editor to use for each post type</li>
<li>Post Type Locking – lock any post type at this filtering level</li>
<li>Existing Blocks – use block editor if post has existing blocks</li>
<li>Post Template – set a default editor for each post template</li>
<li>Metabox Override – allows selection on the post edit screen</li>
<li>Querystring Button – easily switch between the editors any time</li>
<li>Admin Override – post IDs or slugs specified on plugin screen</li>
</ul>
Compatible with both WordPress 4.9.x with Gutenberg plugin and WordPress 5 beta+ Block Editor, and includes filters everywhere for further custom use case control.
Also features some extra tweaks:
<ul>
<li>Awesome button on either editor page to switch between editors</li>
<li>Disable the Gutenberg install plugin nag (for WP 4.9 only)</li>
<li>Remove the Gutenberg menu (for Gutenberg plugin only)</li>
<li>Prevent update disabling the Gutenberg plugin (on update to WP 5 only) 
(so you can continue to update Gutenberg plugin separately to core.)</li>
</ul>
Forget your personal editor allergies and install this plugin to just use what you need when you need it! 🙂

Gridable is a witty solution for WordPress lovers who want to create flexible and reliable grids in the Classic Editor. Being smoothly integrated into the WordPress Classic Editor interface, our plugin becomes a suitable choice for everyone: from people with a technical background to those who are non-techy. It simplifies the entire process of building an extensive range of grids that fit perfectly into various environments.
Gridable is intended for Classic Editor and TinyMCE workflows. It does not add a block editor interface.
Gridable allows you to create an adaptable and fully responsive grid in no time. Thanks to options such as row spacing top and bottom, row gutter and row background color everything comes in the right place without effort. Imagine playing around with bold approaches for different sections of your website through a grid system that puts convenience on top of the digital experience.
It has never been easier to create a dynamic grid with such ease and creative freedom.
<h3>Complete control</h3>
You have a particular set of options that allow you to adjust the grid content editor to your unique brand’s voice and personality. Mix and match colors, spacings, content with images, and make them yours.
<h3>No coding required</h3>
Gridable is accessible for everyone who handles WordPress. Being so naturally integrated into the platform, every action is a very natural behavior and doesn’t require any special skills.
<h3>Continuous improvement</h3>
We invest a lot of time and energy into developing Gridable in a way that makes sense and brings real value to its users so that people make the most out of it.

I really appreciate the minimal code it adds to the page. I usually write something similar to this for my client projects, but this is much nicer in several respects.

However:

	It's impossible to insert the cursor after a row if the row is the last thing in the content.
	You can't rearrange rows or cut and paste.
	The Add Row button does not work in the Text editor.
	Front-end JS file is mostly a giant comment. Minified version should be used, and possibly the dependency on jQuery removed for this tiny little function.


Nicely minimalistic, but buggy

It works and creates columns, however, it has too many bugs, in it disables other functionality in the custom editor and paste deletes the whole paragraph not just the highlighted word.

Good idea too many bugs

Gridable adds row and column layout controls to the WordPress Classic Editor.
