 Replying to [comment:39 azaozz]:

 > Generally users that have installed Classic Editor **-know-** that they
 have installed it :)

 I would add to that: "...or someone else installed it for them for a
 specific reason."

 I wonder if some slightly more explanatory language that relies a little
 less on understanding the plugin name might work better for users with the
 Classic Editor installed. Here's a first attempt that isn't quite right
 but heads in the direction I'm thinking:

 **"You are currently using the WordPress legacy content editor because the
 [# Classic Editor plugin] is activated. [# Try out the new editor] and
 have your site administrator deactivate the plugin when you're ready for
 the new experience."**

 I also think that text might go really nicely in the "Try the New Editor"
 section of the Welcome dashboard widget.

 Finally, should there be any attempt to add or suppress messaging for
 other Gutenberg disabling plugins (especially
 [https://wordpress.org/plugins/gutenberg-ramp/ Ramp]) or simply detecting
 if `add_filter('use_block_editor_for_post', '__return_false');` is set?
 Especially in that last case, it becomes a pretty darn good assumption
 that either the person knows what they're doing or doesn't know how to
 change it even if they know what's happening [and might be better off not
 knowing?].
