WordPress 5.0 came with a long announced new editor
Also, the new block editor should give better PHP 8 compatibility and even better SEO score by optimizing the speed of text delivery on WordPress

All old pages using the old editor are not compatible with the new Gutenberg editor. Text may look different, strange characters taking place to sentences, functionality and CSS gone.
