- Couldn't find if the editor had been added yet... so another month goes by and I'm stuck with old templates. I am heartbroken I'm going to have to find a new favorite template provider. The more I think about it the more I realize Gantry 5 is always going to be too confusing for my clients. I suppose releasing Gantry 5 template designs to work with Gantry 4.x is out of the question?

Amy Vansant - Our developers are working flat out on Gantry 5 - this month we released Gantry 5 for the Wordpress platform. I know it can be frustrating when you don't see the changes you want implemented quickly but they really are working very hard and a wysiswyg editor is definitely on their list.
https://github.com/gantry/gantry5/issues/236
All new templates will be built on the Gantry 5 platform - they won't be built for Gantry 4 as well. But, Gantry 4 is not going anywhere for the foreseeable future. The bulk of our template portfolio is built on Gantry 4 so we will not be retiring them or Gantry 4 any time soon - it will be around a long time yet.

JR - you can interact with our developers and other developers in Gantry 5 chat
https://gitter.im/gantry/gantry5
. You can also raise any questions about Gantry 5 and issues here
https://github.com/gantry/gantry5/issues
(but that would be for Hydrogen template and Gantry 5 itself - not the paid templates which are supported here in the RT template specific forums). Also, You can ask any questions on Gantry 5 itself here too
http://www.rockettheme.com/forum/gantry5-for-joomla
.

- Just checking in - will there be some notification when JCE is usable with Gantry 5 so our clients can edit their sites? Maybe it happened already (fingers crossed) but I haven't seen...

No, it has not happened. The ticket reference ThatI gave you is still outstanding
https://github.com/gantry/gantry5/issues/236
, you can track progress there yourself. It is on the list, but there always seems to be more pressing matters to deal with.

- Been waiting years now, still using only gantry 4 templates because my clients just can't add content without wysiwyg. They NEED an editor. I can't believe this hasn't been a huge issue for sales for you guys? Am I missing something? Not trying to sound snippy at all, just sad.

As you can see the ticket is still open
https://github.com/gantry/gantry5/issues/236
and there has been some further progress and discussion. We want to do it, it's just hard for our developers to find the time given all the other priorities we have to undertake.
I would also add that a lot of particles don't need an editor because you are just keying in plain text in a lot of fields. A lot of particles are specifically design to be configurable without any knowledge of html or any code.

Well, I need editor as well.
I tested/tried few G5 templates, and used em on few projects but I still prefer G4 ones.
Call me hardhead but I prefer simplicity over complexity. I dont care if more complex one offers extra features which MIGHT be handy - if I dont use em. I still think that G5 is overengeneered and complicated.
At one point I was using exclusively RT templates on my projects but I must say that I'm shifting my focus elsewhere.
Although I must admit its being harder and harder to find reliable template provider like RT because
some providers "died", some merged and some are stagnating because WP is dominating CMS market atm.
The same is happening to whole Joomla market.
