I am super glad to have come across this. I have been searching far and wide for the solution to what would seem a simple problem — how can I group a few elements together? I mean, show me a website that doesn’t require this. I am not understanding why it wasn’t included in Gutenberg to begin with, but I digress. There are a few other Gutenberg Block plugins that claim to have container blocks, but with all the others I’ve tried, the container block is super laggy whenever you drag it around. This plugin seems, at least from my experimentation so far, to have somehow avoided that issue for the most part. Very nice. Besides that, this one is nice because it doesn’t come with a bunch of extra stuff I don’t want. Most block plugins load a bunch of scripts and styles that I don’t need. I am a theme developer, so I’ve been looking for something to just give me a way to structure the page and let me handle the rest. Thank you very much for bringing this extremely useful plugin. Now I can actually make websites again.

Seems usefull
