You certainly can build a theme that utilizes the Classic Editor. To me, it’s still a viable option for the time being.

It’s really hard to say what is going to happen with the editor, though. My guess is that, even if WP doesn’t officially support it after 2021, someone could potentially fork it and keep it alive in some form.

Eventually, though, it’s likely to be Gutenberg or a page builder as your only workable options.

I left WP when Gutenberg first was rolled out. I’m now revisiting to see what’s up, where things are at. Isn’t the third option still a possibiity? Do you think the Classic Editor will truly disappear in 2022?
