kill websites with stupid blocks

How dare you just kill the classic editor? And not even a decent interim solution is offered, only a list of which pages no longer work. This is really terrible. Everyone who was happy about a great connection to Digistore or something similar is suddenly faced with a problem - OR DON'T KNOW THAT THEY HAVE ONE! Really, weak and with that, everything by this author died for me. PS: Over 1 million users use the classic editor. Shutting out a million users isn't a brilliant move.

God Sent for FSE Themes.

For my ACF Pro projects that use meta boxes, I use FSE themes just because it is so much easier to create and edit custom templates for the project. However, Because FSE themes can only use blocks + HTML and CSS, this plugin is invaluable to me for some custom php coding. One suggestion that I have and I would love to see for extra security, is to have the option for this plugin's block to show up only in the templates, and not in posts, pages and CPTs. Of course I can only use TinyMCE and with ACF Pro disable the editor all together for the corresponding CPT, or simply remove the Post Content block from the appropriate templates, but having an option to limit this plugin to just the templates will be a more elegant solution. Nevertheless, this is a very important plugin for me.

This is the plugin's Gutenberg block.
