Comment (by zeshanb):

 Hi there,

 For individuals recently migrating from older versions and even other
 content management systems. Using Gutenberg classic block. Having the
 classic editor not honor standard html paragraph tags when using "Edit as
 HTML" option can be a serious annoyance.

 Here is a animated gif of the issue:

 strips-paragraph-tags.gif)]]

 Possible solution would be to have paragraph tags converted to classic
 blocks when Gutenberg loads post content for editing. Although this way of
 solving this may or may not cause editor experience issues.
