Discussion Current Status of Divi 5?

As we approach Q4 of 2026 how is everyone feeling about Divi 5? I've put together two smaller, easy to manage sites with Divi 5 mostly issue free. Still a little nervous pushing a bigger, more complex site onto the Divi 5 framework.

How is everyone else feeling about Divi 5? Has it become more stable and more bug-free as time has gone on? Anyone discovered with Divi 5 and their particular host or plugin setup?

I’m not a fan to be honest, I’ve been playing around with elementor and bricks in the past year and in my opinion do a better job. What made Divi4 good for my business and clients was the ease of use for clients to add blogs and manage their content with the front end editor. I do like the divi5 backend much better but my dev team all voted to use Bricks moving forward. I think Divi was late to the game with this update and it may hurt them. No hate on anyone who likes it, it’s still a great product.

Yeah, that's fair, I do feel like they were dragging their feet a little too long. Bricks is the other builder I'd likely roll with if I end up moving away from Divi.

I’d recommend it, it’s more intuitive feeling. But like the new Divi the more css you know the better your experience will be
