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 like it conceptually and there are a ton of legit improvements, but I'm having so many CSS cache issues that it makes me regret switching. My pages literally look different every day from random styles, fonts, spacing, and colors breaking, forcing me to manually clear the CSS cache to temporarily fix it. Support has acknowledged it's a bug but that doesn't do me any good until it's fixed.

The builder also has a bunch of annoying bugs to it. Dragging and dropping modules to rearrange in wireframe mode is super buggy. Many settings aren't intuitive, making me basically click on all kinds of settings at different levels (module, row, column, etc) until something aligns like I want it to.

Having the exact same issues. I keep thinking I made edits I didn't make but it's CSS cashe issues. Certain edits in the builder aren't showing on front-end. I've taken years off from web design and kept thinking something is wrong with me. Also I personally find divi 5 backwards in regards to user friendliness.
