There is a standard and portable way to create rich layouts for posts and guide people directly through settings on the interface. No 20 step tutorials or long videos are required. All themes can compete with multi-functional advanced themes without tying users to a single theme or compromising the experience.

Blocks provide an easy to learn single entry point for various methods, extending WordPress incredibly. Today, almost all plug-ins that actually extend WP execute in different ways. Instead of copying and pasting shortcut codes, users can easily insert and move anything from contact forms to store items. You can connect through other steps instead of trying to fill everything in the meta box.
