Editor Bridge

This could have been a 5 star plugin - easily !

Having preset values for paddings/margins is almost a deal breaker for me here. The author of the post/page should be the only one in authority to decide exactly how much spacing is needed for the blocks, as different sites/themes have different requirements. 

This plugin adds most of the necessary things to make Gutenberg a viable page builder, and (this plugin) comes very close in filling the missing items, but really, the site admin needs to make ALL the decisions for their own site.

I would very gladly revise my rating to 5 stars, once I we get more options and freedoms with the block spacings.

UPDATE: Sept 22, 2021: The new update fixes many things, and even though I wanted to be able to have custom padding/margin values, I think it's only fair to change my rating from 4 stars to 5. I just wish more people would appreciate this plugin, so it would further be developed. Good job, and thanks again!

Good enough... not ideal (yet) !

Organic Themes

<p>The Widget Area Block allows for multiple custom Widget Areas to be created on any page or post using the Gutenberg block editor. As a result, traditional widgets can be used along side blocks within your content. The plugin can be used to create new sidebars within layout blocks, or add widgets directly within your content.</p>
<p>There are many useful widgets that cannot be used with the WordPress 5 block editor. This custom block is designed to remedy that problem.</p>
<p>Simply add the Widget Area Block anywhere within your content. Then, name your custom Widget Area. Then, click the Customizer View button to add widgets to that section within the WordPress Customizer.</p>
<p>This block work perfectly with the <a href="https://organicthemes.com/builder/" title="Organic Builder Widgets Pro" rel="nofollow ugc">Organic Builder Widgets Pro</a> builder plugin. So, widgets and blocks can be used side-by-side to create dynamic page content.</p>
