Comment (by boemedia):

 I applied the patch and here are my first findings:

 I like the fact that the page resonates content that was available before,
 so people can recognize it. (Assuming they visited the page before via the
 call out).

 - The call out 'Learn how' for the old editor links to the plugin. At that
 point, people leave their install and some may have no idea how to get
 back and install the plugin. Besides, on the plugin page, you're not
 'learning more'. I'd expect some kind of tutorial here or a short guide on
 what to do.

 - I find the page a bit lengthy, and wonder how many people will scroll
 all the way down to the theme. Maybe have some on page links at the top,
 saying 'meet the new editor' and 'meet 2019 the new theme'? (and a back to
 top when you're all the way down...)

 - the fig captions in the block with four black blocks runs over on the
 right

 - all the animations are a bit much and distracting for me tbh, I'd prefer
 to have a still image in the black blocks instead of everything moving
 around.

 - do we want a link to the customizer below the theme, to encourage people
 to live try it?

 - this block of text: ''Something Else. Gutenberg is available as a plugin
 today, and will be included in version 5.0 of WordPress. The classic
 editor will be available as a plugin if needed.'' Seems irrelevant, or at
 least should be updated according to the function the plugin wil have (as
 I understood beta testing the next phase).

 - Checked the heading structure, this seems to be correct.
