From a Wordpress theme developer point of view, I love gutenberg. It allows me to easily make complex block types that clients can easily insert and edit to their liking, visually. That was hard to do back when you had just some custom fields or shortcodes — you where stuck with a template that maybe could display some metadata, but it was hard to insert inside a post without the content looking weird.
A common complaint I heard from clients is that they wish they could edit more, like the color of buttons or the width of an image. These are things that gutenberg solved very well. I definitely agree that it’s not there yet, and things are still fiddly and wysiwyg is not really there — but for me, it’s a big deal that made things easier.
Yup, and it really is changing how themes will work. Most of my clients have transitioned to Gutenberg fairly well. Granted, right now they are only using Gutenberg for blog posts.

Big agree on the uncanny valley bit.
